In their 11th match of the Clausura, Tijuana secured a dominant 3-0 victory against León, driven by an impressive performance from Kevin Castañeda, who scored two goals. Castañeda’s strikes came early in the match, netting his first goal just 4 minutes in, followed by another at the 47th minute. Diego Abreu also contributed to Tijuana’s scoreline with a goal in the 20th minute of the first half.
Kevin Castañeda was undoubtedly the standout player, not only for his two goals but also for his overall attacking intent, as he attempted two shots. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Antonio Rodríguez was instrumental in keeping León from scoring, making six important saves.
León’s coach, Ignacio Ambriz, opted for a 4-5-1 formation, featuring Jordan Garcia in goal and a defensive line consisting of Valentín Gauthier, Sebastián Vegas, Iván Moreno, and Christopher Mora. The midfield included Iván Rodríguez, Juan Domínguez, Rodrigo Echeverría, Ismael Díaz, and Nicolás Vallejo, with Diber Cambindo leading the attack.
On the other hand, Tijuana, managed by Sebastián Abreu, employed a similar 4-5-1 setup. Antonio Rodríguez was the last line of defense, backed by a backline of Rafael Fernández, Unai Bilbao, Jesús Gómez, and Jesús Vega. Their midfield was composed of Iván Tona, Ramiro Árciga, Ignacio Rivero, Kevin Castañeda, and Frank Boya, with Diego Abreu upfront.
The match was officiated by Katia García Mendoza at the Nou Camp stadium.
Looking ahead to the next fixtures, León will travel to face Chivas, while Tijuana will take on Necaxa. This result leaves León with a total of 10 points in the tournament, placing them in 15th position, while Tijuana rises to 12 points, positioned 10th overall.
