Atlas had plenty of the ball at Estadio Jalisco on Saturday, 29 August 2026, dominating large spells of possession, but it was Querétaro who made their chances count. The home side led at the break after a scrappy, even first half that finished 1-1, and looked the more threatening side in patches. Querétaro kept their composure and turned the game in the second half, finding the net twice more to run out 1-3 winners despite having less of the ball and fewer shots than Atlas. Santiago Homenchenko was the difference, picking up the man of the match award with an 8.7 rating for a performance that was sharp when it mattered most. Atlas will be frustrated they couldn't convert their control into goals, managing just three shots on target from fourteen attempts, while Querétaro were far more clinical with five on target from eleven. It's a result that hands Querétaro a big three points on the road and leaves Atlas with plenty to think about at home.
The Matchup
Atlas 1-3 Querétaro was the final score at Estadio Jalisco, in a game where Querétaro did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 59% in favour of Atlas, Querétaro made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 14 attempts from Atlas against 11 from Querétaro over the course of the game. It was not always comfortable for Querétaro, and Atlas pushed for a way back into the game, but the result stood. Games like this can carry real weight later in the season, so this is a scoreline worth remembering. Below is a closer look at how the match broke down, statistically.
