Outstanding performance
Pachuca•MidfielderPachuca dismantled Atlante inside the opening 38 minutes, scoring three times through Rondón, Kenedy, and Idrissi to effectively end the contest before halftime. Despite Atlante dominating possession (56%) and dangerous attacks (64 to 31), they were toothless in front of goal, managing just 5 shots on target from 29 attempts and converting none of their big chances. Pachuca were ruthlessly efficient by contrast, needing far fewer opportunities but making them count, while their defensive work rate showed in a staggering 30 tackles to Atlante's 14. The result piles more pressure on a struggling Atlante side already fighting for their season, while Pachuca's title credentials look increasingly real after a statement road win.

Atlante host Pachuca at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes with Miguel Herrera's job security a growing talking point after a shaky run of form. Pachuca arrive out of form themselves, but the market still fancies them to end Atlante's mini-slump.
