What was one of the sweetest stories of the tournament, the one that Puebla in the first half of it, begins to get buried for the recent poor results it has achieved, which threaten their stay in the first four positions of the table.
This time, in another match in which the Larcaboys looked far from that level with which they amazed, Necaxa got the result 0-1 in the Cuauhtémoc Stadium because of a Antony Silva’s serious mistakewho has been one of his best men.
Without them Ray were those who stopped and brought down Tigres from the top the previous week, this time they knew how to be patient to get a vital result that settles them in the Repechage zone, from which they will no longer leave, since Toluca and León face each other on the last date. Now they have everything in their hands to be at least in the next phase of the tournament.
they lost the magic
The team from the Strip has not been able to establish conditions in a game for a long time and this time that constant was maintained, although a lot of fault had a Necaxa who chose to go out to defend the zero on his bow rather than seek an advantage.
That bet led to it being seen a first part of zero options that was harshly criticized by the home fanswhich made a medium entry hoping that his team would add three points that would put him almost inside the Liguilla without going through a playoff.
The best came in the second halfwhere it was immediately noticed that there was a harsh wake-up call in the Puebla locker room, since at the restart they went to the front, although the closest they came was with a header from Fernando Aristeguieta that went to the side .
When the Larcaboys promised the most The bucket of cold water arrived at minute 54 due to the veteran Paraguayan goalkeeperwho when trying to cut a free kick ended up colliding with Aristeguieta himself and unable to take the ball.
Fortunately for Milton Giménez, the ball fell right where it was and he just pushed it into the net to put the first goal of the game, which was managed in a great way by Jaime Lozano.
The strategist returned to withdraw his boys in his lower zone to look for the counterattack, although what mattered most to him was defending the advantage in a bet that worked out for him. Diego de Buen, with a powerful free kick that Luis Malagón took from the anglewas the only one that really disturbed.
With the result, Puebla remains momentarily in third position with 26 units, with the risk of being surpassed by Cruz Azul, Monterrey and Atlas. Necaxa, meanwhile, reached 23 points that put him, for now, in seventh place.
