In matchday 13 of Liga MX, Santos Laguna triumphed over León with a score of 2-0, propelled by a remarkable performance from Bruno Amione who scored both goals. The first came in the 29th minute, when Amione broke the deadlock with a powerful header. He added a second goal just 14 minutes into the second half, confirming Santos’ dominance in the game.
Despite León registering the highest number of attempts on goal, totaling 20 shots with 12 on target, they were unable to gain a foothold in the match. Santos Laguna celebrated a well-deserved victory in front of their home crowd at Estadio Corona.
Goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo was the standout player, impressively saving 11 shots, helping to maintain the clean sheet for Santos. Alongside him, Amione not only made a significant defensive contribution but also proved to be a key player by scoring both goals.
Santos coach Francisco Farinós utilized a 4-5-1 formation, featuring Carlos Acevedo in goal; a defensive line of José Abella, Haret Ortega, Kevin Balanta, and Bruno Amione; midfielders Salvador Mariscal, Javier Güémez, Kevin Palacios, Fran Villalba, and Ramiro Sordo; with Bruno Barticciotto spearheading the attack.
On the other hand, León, managed by Ignacio Ambriz, deployed a 4-4-2 formation, with Oscar Jiménez as their goalkeeper; a defense consisting of José Ramírez, Rodrigo Echeverría, Stiven Barreiro, and Salvador Reyes; a midfield featuring Iván Moreno, Fernando Beltrán, Nicolás Fonseca, and James Rodríguez; and frontline duo Rogelio Funes Mori and José Alvarado.
The match was officiated by referee Daniel Quintero Huitrón.
