Pachuca came into the match as favorites at home and showed it early, taking the lead before half-time to establish control at the Estadio Miguel Hidalgo. But Querétaro had other ideas. The visitors came out with real intensity after the break and turned the game on its head, scoring twice to steal a 1-2 victory from a Pachuca side that couldn't find a way back into it. It was a stunning turnaround from the hosts, who looked comfortable going into the interval. This was a proper gut-punch for Pachuca, who dominated the first half only to fall apart defensively when it mattered. Querétaro showed real character to come back like that, proving that a half-time deficit means nothing if you've got the quality to punish mistakes. For the away side, it's a result that keeps their season ticking over nicely.
