Pivotal
Atlante
León
Atlante dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting León 17-12 and racking up 44 dangerous attacks to León's 30, but wastefulness and a disciplined León defense kept the scoreline blank for long stretches. A VAR review in the second half led to a penalty for León, coolly converted by Alfonso Alvarado in the 81st minute to seemingly hand the visitors a smash-and-grab win. But Atlante refused to fold, laying siege to León's box in stoppage time and finding a leveler through Martín Sarrafiore off a corner in the 90th minute. The result stalls León's momentum on the road while Atlante will feel it's a point gained given how the game finished, especially with three second-half substitutions at the break shaping the tempo of their comeback push.
