Liguilla MX 2022: Pachuca vs. Tigres quarterfinals round live
Tiago Volpi debuts as a scorer and saves the Red Devils in the quarterfinals.
Toluca enters the semifinals of the Apertura 2022 after defeating Santos 1-2 at the Corona Stadium in a game with few emotions. \
The Devils played a smart game and managed to increase their lead in the second half with two goals in less than two minutes.
Jean Meneses and Andres Mosquera were in charge of commanding the victory of Toluca, which took the victory with a global score of 4-6.
On the part of Santos, Fernando Gorriaran discounted, who at minute 90 pushed a ball to mark the honor and fire some warriors who had a great tournament in Liga MX.
Ignacio Ambriz led the team to the semifinals and will face América, a team that thrashed Puebla 11-2 in the quarterfinals.
The first 45 minutes were dominated by Santos, who came close to scoring in the seventh minute when a header from Torres was intercepted by Tiago Volpi, who again showed off with some saves and his leadership in the defensive zone.
The clearest of the game for Santos was at minute 30 when Cecilio Domínguez entered the area alone and flew the ball that was never in favor of the Laguneros.
Toluca only needed two minutes in the second half to score two goals and end Santos ' hopes.
It was at minute 46 in a counterattack orchestrated by Volpi.
The goalkeeper burst the ball after an attack by Santos forwards; the ball reached the feet of Meneses, who ran down the left wing, entered the area and shot goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo, who hit the grass when he saw that the ball was inside the goal he defends.
Two minutes later, Andrés Mosquera increased the lead after a corner kick taken by Fernando Navarro. The Devils defender jumped a jump to finish the ball with his head and make it 0-2 in the game.
The changes came for both teams. Eduardo Fentanes' men went on the attack, while Ambriz decided to give air to some players and maintain the advantage.
Santos ' goal that gave a little hope came until the end of the game after Gorriarán finished off a ball inside the area.
At minute 86, the referee stopped the game because the homophobic cry appeared in the stands, as Santo's public was frustrated after this result that left his team out of the tournament.
