Outstanding performance
Guadalajara•GoalkeeperGuadalajara made the perfect start, striking inside three minutes through Roberto Alvarado to set the tone for a match they would go on to control territorially, finishing with 57% possession and superior passing accuracy at 87%. Pachuca, however, were the more direct and clinical side in dangerous areas, racking up 17 shots to Guadalajara's 10 and committing 19 fouls as they scrapped to find a way back. The breakthrough finally came with 11 minutes remaining when a VAR review awarded Pachuca a penalty for a foul on Nicolas Vallejo, which Salomón Rondón calmly converted to level things at 1-1. A cascade of substitutions in the second half from both benches reshaped the contest, but neither side could find a winner, leaving Pachuca to salvage a point at home despite Guadalajara's stronger overall control of the ball.
