And although El Rebaño controlled possession against the Tuzos, they could not secure their fourth win of the tournament because of a play that sparked controversy.

In the 70th minute, a penalty awarded to Pachuca changed the course of the match thanks to a goal by Salomón Rondón. However, according to refereeing experts, the foul should not have stood, as Nico Vallejo was the one who initiated the contact with Miguel Gómez.

With the draw, Gabriel Milito’s side ends the matchday in fourth place with 11 points, while the Hidalgo club finishes in 14th place with only five points.
