PivotalNecaxa struck early through Julián Carranza, catching Atlético San Luis cold inside 10 minutes, but the hosts responded through Felipe Mora before halftime to level things up. The game turned decisively just after the break when Christopher Andrade turned Rafa Llorente's effort into his own net, handing San Luis a lead they controlled from then on. San Luis dominated the underlying numbers - 59% possession, 12 shots to 10, and five big chances created to Necaxa's one - and that control eventually told again in the 81st minute when Eduardo Águila added a third from a corner to seal it. For Necaxa, the result continues a difficult stretch and does little to ease pressure near the relegation zone, while San Luis's clinical edge in the final third, despite Necaxa's superior dangerous-attack count, will please a side building momentum in mid-table.
How entertaining was this match?
Basement side Atlético San Luis host struggling Necaxa in a clash between two teams desperate to arrest poor form. All eyes are on Juan Reynoso's first game in charge of Necaxa, who arrive winless in six but have historically had San Luis's number.
