![]() The goal turned the match, and Leon started to be more dangerous, coming close with a shot from outside the area from William Tesillo that went just wide. It was an incredible goal that put Leon right back into the match. Mena made a great cross that was headed back by Meneses to Victor Davila, who got an incredible left footed shot past Atlas’ goalkeeper Camilo Vargas for the 1-1 equalizer. Then a great counter attack from Leon ended with a great play. He had to be subbed out for Ramiro Gonzalez. A minute later Andres Mosquera tried to get to a ball but fell to the ground, looking like he had been injured. There was another controversy when Angel Mena had a a one-on-one and looked to have been brought by Jesus Angulo, but the referee failed to call a foul. Once again Atlas looked well prepared to handle a Leon team that tried to respond, but had a hard time breaking through the tough defense from Atlas. Atlas kept attacking and after a throw in, the ball got into the area and Luis Reyes was able to get a right footed shot past Leon’s goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota for the 1-0 lead. There was a strong foul a minute in from David Barbosa on Jean Meneses that got him a yellow card, but had many questioning if they had seen the new controversy against a call by Atlas by not getting a red card. Atlas had the good news that Julian Quiñones, who had come out injured in the last match against Pumas, was able to start the match. Leon came out with the notable change of David Ramirez for Osvaldo Rodriguez, who got a red card for a fight against Tigres after he had been subbed out. The first half started after a minute of silence for the death of Alfredo Moreno. Still Leon is only one goal up and will have to go to Guadalajara, where there should be an electric atmosphere as the Atlas fans feel as close as ever to getting their first title in their lifetime and hope to end the longest tenure without a title in Mexico. Atlas, who is trying to get their first Liga MX championship since 1951 battled hard and were a tough opponent, but key mistakes allowed Leon to get back in the lead.
