Atlas
Guadalajara
Outstanding performance
Guadalajara•MidfielderGuadalajara dominated the ball and territory throughout, out-shooting Atlas 12-5 and doubling them up in dangerous attacks, but their profligacy in front of goal - including a missed penalty from Sepúlveda in the 76th minute - kept the door open. Kevin Zenón's 52nd-minute strike, set up by Paulo Barboza after a flurry of blocked efforts, looked set to be the difference until late substitute impact turned the game on its head. Sepúlveda made amends for his spot-kick miss by converting from Brian Gutiérrez's assist in the 86th minute, and Atlas held on despite Kevin Castañeda's second yellow card in stoppage time reducing them to ten men. For Guadalajara, this is a missed opportunity to climb away from mid-table given their control of the match, while Atlas will take the point as a show of resilience despite being outplayed for long stretches.
