Tijuana

Tijuana vs. Necaxa closed the day this Friday at the start of Date 14 of the Clausura 2024 of the MX League, which began with a win by Pumas in Mazatlán in an electrifying duel, because after losing the advantage, the Rayos reacted to regain it and win.

With this result, the border team led by Miguel Herrera still does not know what it means to win this semester, with a balance of eight draws and six defeats to remain in the penultimate position with eight points, just above Puebla, with five points.

It was in the 38th minute that Diber Cambindo in a wall with José Paradela defined at grass level on the penalty area and with this opened the scoring for his seventh goal and paired with the scoring leaders, Luis Amarilla, who went blank with Mazatlán against Cougars; Salomón Rondón, from Pachuca; and Federico Viñas, from León.

Around the 40th minute, Cambindo lay down on the grass in pain and was immediately assisted; He left the field with an annoyed face, disappointed and with no choice but to leave the field so that Ricardo Monreal could replace him due to a muscle injury.

The good news for Necaxa in this regard is that he got off the assist cart and went to the bench on his own, waiting for the club’s official medical report.

The first half also left the anecdote of Alan Montes, who after a ball hit him in the face, was left lying down and bleeding from his nose to play momentarily with a shirt without a number on the number.

Before the break, a strong collision between Heriberto Jurado and Kevin Castañeda forced the medical assistance of both teams to enter to treat them and rule out anything serious right in the central circle of the stadium.

At 40+3′, Carlos González hit a volley with his instep and thus shot Luis Unsain who could do little and nothing to avoid the tie in the Paraguayan’s fourth goal, the third at home with Xolos in the Clausura 2024.

Before the final whistle, Ricardo Monreal, who had relieved the injured Diber Cambindo, scored the second for the Rayos, but it was disallowed for an offside position to leave the score at 1-1 heading to the locker room. Fernando Arce in the 49th minute, hit a shot that was blocked by goalkeeper Toño Rodríguez to avoid the second visitor.

Already in the complement, a shot from the right to the first post by Domingo Blanco, to the upper left corner of Unsain, became a great goal and in what was only his second goal in the maximum circuit, in both cases at home but this time It did not serve for the victory like on that occasion with Tigres as a rival.

The Argentine’s tremendous flash even ended up breaking the nets, as the ball left the goal and fell behind the advertising billboard for a goal that should have been thoroughly celebrated, as it meant the team’s first victory of the semester, although more late everything went overboard.

However, at 84′ a penalty was scored for a foul by Carlos González on Braian Samudio, although with the controversy that a lot of time had passed to review the play; José Paradela scored from eleven steps.

In stoppage time, at 90+1′, the Argentine Paradela scored the third and the winning goal for Xolos after a measured cross into the area where he scored first with his left foot and before the departure of Toño Rodríguez.
