The game was mostly Pumas’s, who dominated the match. Later in the first half, Pumas scored again on a goal from Ricardo Osorio. When the second half kicked off, Los Universitarios kept up the pressure with a very impressive offensive attack.

Luduena would score the third and final goal of the night with an off-set piece that beat Edgar Hernandez to the top left corner. Queretaro could not get the pieces together. To make a bad night worse, Danilinho would receive his second yellow card, making it a red, leaving Queretaro with only ten men from the 72nd minute on.

The game seemed over, but Queretaro would not go down with a 3-0 score. They continued to search for their season’s first goal. Thanks to Angel Sepulveda’s, Queretaro would score in injury time.
