Late Goal Lifts Cancun Over Leones Negros in Liga de Expansión MX Opener
GUADALAJARA, Mexico (Interstat) — A stoppage-time goal from substitute José Rodríguez delivered Cancun a 2-1 victory over Leones Negros on Sunday at Estadio Jalisco in the Liga de Expansión MX season opener for both clubs.
Rodríguez opened the scoring deep in first-half stoppage time. Leones Negros defender Arturo Ledesma equalized in the 90th minute, but Rodríguez secured the win for the visitors just moments later in the fourth minute of added time. The result defied a pregame projection that narrowly favored the home side.
The match featured six yellow cards. Cancun begins its campaign at 1-0, while Leones Negros starts 0-1.
