The visitors took the lead at 21 minutes after a long pass from Steven Mendoza to Diego Hernández, who held on and waited for José Alvarado to appear from behind to cross for the striker to head in the score to make it 0-1.

Then came another goal by Alvarado, but it was disallowed for a previous foul on the play, and from that foul came the equalizing goal scored, also with a header, by André-Pierre Gignac.

In the second half, on the hour mark, Stiven Barreiro appeared, following a corner kick, to push the ball into the back of the net after a pass from Luciano Cabral and make it 1-2 for León.

At 82′, a second goal was disallowed for León, as after a very bad reaction by Nahuel Guzmán, Jhonder Cádiz made it 1-3, but the VAR called the referee for offside.

The equalizer came at 90′ when Diego Lainez broke down the left flank and sent in a low cross for Juan Brunetta, who shot first-time to make it 2-2 and keep Tigres in third place with 21 points, while León is 14th with only eight units.

However, before the end of the first half, Giorgos Giakoumakis was to score the discount with a cross-shot inside the area.

At the start of the second half, in the 48th minute, there was a play that would change the match. An avoidable foul by Sergio Barreto was sanctioned by the referee and resulted in the second yellow card for the defender, leaving Pachuca with 10 men.

Rondón came close to increasing the lead for the Tuzos but could not, and who could do it was Giakoumakis. The Greek was at it again in the 55th minute when he left-footed a pass from the flank by Carlos Rotondi to make it 2-2.

Argentine Lorenzo Faravelli turned the score around at 66′ with a shot from the ground, while at 90+1′ it was Ángel Sepúlveda who put the final score with a strong shot.
