Despite some interesting matchups, the fourth match-day in the Mexican League Torneo Apertura 2011 provided few emotions.

The midweek fixture definitely affected most teams, especially considering how early in the tournament it was scheduled.

 

Cruz Azul 2-1 Atlante

This is a very deceiving score. Atlante was better during most of the game, but they struggled with their finishing, while Cruz Azul made use of their few goal chances.

Emanuel Villa and Javier Orozco scored for La Máquina Celeste, while Giancarlo Maldonado got Atlante back in the fight, but it was not enough.

 

Querétaro 2-1 Pachuca

Elías Hernández had opened the scoring at the 14th minute, and for a while it seemed Los Gallos Blancos were being dragged back to the bottom of the relegation battle, but Daley Mena equalized at the 75th minute and Michel Vázquez gave the hosts a much needed victory in stoppage time.



Now Querétaro has a four-point edge over Estudiantes Tecos in the relegation table; yes, Xolos Tijuana is still behind, but considering the next result we know that won’t last.

 

 

Santos Laguna 1-3 Xolos Tijuana

The upset of the week. Santos Laguna had two impressive victories in their first two games, while Xolos lost their first two presentations in the First Division.

Everything was according to the script when Juan Pablo Rodríguez scored to make it 1-0 with a penalty kick, but former Santos Laguna player Fernando Arce equalized just before the break.

José Sand and Dayro Moreno shocked everybody in the second half, giving Tijuana its first points in the First Division.

This team is definitely here to stay.

 

Chivas 0-0 Pumas UNAM
