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 LeΓ³n Chavez stadium.
They doubled their lead when Omar Gonzalez set up Marco Granados to score and put Javier San Romanβs side in a great position going into the second leg.
