But it was the Xoloitzcuintles that controlled possession for the rest of the half despite having few scoring chances. Club Tijuana’s clearest chance came in the 15^th minute. Juan Rodriguez lofted a perfectly placed ball to Jose Michel, who was able to get a step on his defender. Rodriguez shot beat the keeper but was inches wide of the mark.

Club Tijuana continued with its control of possession in the second half but could not penetrate the Guadalajara defense, who took advantage and used counter-attacks on offense. Michelle Benitez beat his defender on a counter and sent a swerving cross into the heart of the box met by Jose Peralta, who made no mistake of it and put it past Lopez in the 53^rd minute.

Guadalajara's second goal would also come on a cross, this time via corner kick. Jose Ramirez jumped clear of Club Tijuana's defensive line and headed home the ball in the 77th minute.

Club Tijuana's Christian Torres pulled his team within one in 88th minute when he capitalized on a loose ball and poked it into an empty net. But it was too late for the Xoloitzcuintles.

The Xoloitzcuintles will now travel to face Cruz Azul next week in a Week 11 match
