Number seven has become the lucky one for the Atlas, as it is the number of games that the Foxes have without knowing defeat, after beating the Braves of Juarez with a score of 2-0 at the Jalisco Stadium.
This win for the red and black team means ground gold for the Foxes, especially because the border team is a direct rival in the quotient table and with this defeat enters the fray for not paying the large fine of 120 million pesos.
Jairo Torres scored the first goal in the 38th minute, after a great cross from Luciano Acosta, who match after game has become the important man in the attack of Diego Cocca’s team.
With his second goal in the same number of consecutive encounters for Torres, as well as Renato Ibarra in the third minute of replacement, they became the architects of this rojinegra victory over a team of Braus that continues to fall in this contest .
Not long ago Atlas also had a seven-game unbeaten streak. The last time was between the Clausura 2018 and Obertura 2018 tournaments.
With this result, the rojinegros reach 15 points in the general table, however, the most important thing is that they already shortened distances with Juárez in the table of quotients, since they are already with 12 units of disadvantage. Atlas has 93 points in 94 games, while the frontiers remain at 105 units in 93 engagements.
In the course of the game, the first half was a red and black monologue, with cascading arrivals, but Milton Caraglio, Luciano Acosta, Jairo Torres and Ignacio Malcorra did not have the peace of mind to define in front of goalkeeper Enrique Palos, who was having an excellent performance even before Torres ’goal fell.
For the add-on, Atlas left control of the ball to the juarensesHowever, the team of “Flaco” Luis Fernando Tena suffered from a serious lack of confidence, That not even with the changes after the entrance of Marco Fabián, William Mendieta and Eryc Castell, could mark an important difference to the attack, adding their third consecutive defeat.
I’m happy with the effort and commitment of the players, they showed good football passages, we were still growing with the results and we played with these two things, the result and the football, and we are convinced that we are growing
-Diego Cocca, technical director of Atlas
