A cagey first half at Estadio Victoria saw neither side find the breakthrough, with both Necaxa and Atlante cancelling each other out. The deadlock didn't last long after the restart though. Necaxa came out with real intent in the second period and took the lead, then added a second to seemingly have the game wrapped up. Atlante pulled one back late on, but it proved nothing more than a consolation as the home side held firm for a 2-1 victory. The win keeps Necaxa's momentum going in what's shaping up to be a competitive league campaign. Atlante will be frustrated not to have made more of their chances, particularly after keeping things tight for forty-five minutes, but they'll have to regroup and come again.
