Rayados suffered throughout the match, taking a long time to wake up, and lacking precision in attack, but still managed to beat Juárez 1-0 at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez with a goal by Jesús Gallardo, which puts them as leaders of the Apertura 2022, equal with América.

Although Monterrey had the ball in the first half, they did not manage to shoot at goal even once, so they went to the break with a 0-0 tie on the scoreboard.

It was not until the 76th minute when Jesús Gallardo was able to open the scoreboard with a great goal after a great individual play.

With this result, the team coached by Víctor Manuel Vucetich is in first place with 31 points. Juárez, meanwhile, is still without a win at home and is in 14th place in the table.

Miracles do exist and in soccer, they are no exception. When it seemed that Querétaro would win again in the tournament (something that is not often seen either), goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo scored at the last minute to give Santos a 3-3 tie in the 90+10th minute.

Querétaro started the match with quick possession of the ball; however, it was to be the Laguneros who took the lead with a mid-distance shot by Harold Preciado in the 25th minute.

From that point on, the match became a back-and-forth affair in which the locals managed to equalize the score in the 31st minute thanks to a goal by Angel Sepúlveda.
