Puebla dominated the opening period at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc and made their superiority count with an early goal that sent them into the break with a commanding 1-0 lead. Chivas were second best for much of the first half, struggling to get into the game against a fired-up home side who looked dangerous on the break. The visitors emerged with renewed purpose after the interval and quickly leveled the match, leaving Puebla unable to find a way back through. It finished 1-1, a frustrating result for the home team who had been in complete control but couldn't hold on when it mattered.
