The match
After a goalless first half, the hosts grabbed the lead when Armando Sandoval scored in the 55th minute to send the home fans into raptures at the Estadio Sergio León Chavez stadium.
They doubled their lead when Omar Gonzalez set up Marco Granados to score and put Javier San Roman’s side in a great position going into the second leg.
