Mexico City.- Querétaro dealt a tremendous moral blow to Santos Laguna after beating them 2-0 in stoppage time, with two great goals scored by Mauro Gerk’s team in less than three minutes.
The Gallos Blancos team added their fourth victory of the tournament, which does not help their situation at all, since they will finish in last place in the table of quotients and because of this, although they are in the playoff zone, they will be left out by regulation.
The best thing about the meeting was the rain of stuffed animals that came out from the TSM Corona grandstand, as part of the celebration of the tenth edition of the Guerretón, through which the club collects dolls to distribute on April 30 to different associations that serve to low-income children.
A shot by Juan Brunetta was the closest the Comarca team got to opening the scoring in the first half.
He needed to direct the ball to open the scoring, and in the stands they did not forgive him for the mistake, as boos immediately appeared.
For the second part, for a moment the alert lights came on when the goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo showed severe pain in his shoulder, for a moment Gibran Lajud warmed up on the bench, but in the end the medical staff gave the go-ahead for the goalkeeper will continue.
Eduardo Aguirre reappeared in the lineup of the lagoons at minute 65, after recovering from a herniated disc operation that kept him off the pitch for 14 days.
But the presence of “Mudo” did not help the home team to open the scoring either, Gallos had better approaches and in the end, his effort was rewarded.
The best of the match was experienced in extra time, first Kevin Escamilla scored to make it 1-0 at 95′, and a minute later Ettson Ayón made it 2-0, with a shot from outside the area to leave the Guerreros with a span of noses, in addition to a quite compromised position to ensure his ticket to the playoffs.
