The Iguanas lost to Club Atlético La Paz and with a couple of maximum penalties they tied (2-2) on the eighth day of Clausura 2024 of the Expansion League; They already have ten games without knowing defeat as hosts

Cancún, Quintana Roo March 2, 2024.- In his home and with his people, he is respected. Cancún FC, champion of the Expansión League, came from behind to rescue a dramatic draw (2-2) against Club Atlético La Paz on the eighth day of the 2024 Clausura Tournament of the MX Expansión League.

Las Iguanas already have ten without losing, since last September 6, when they fell (1-2) against Coyotes de Tlaxcala, curiously on the eighth date of Apertura 2023.

True to its style, Cancún FC proposed the match from the whistle of the referee, Edgar Ulises Rangel. By all means, the champion tried to tear down the Baja California wall, but without being forceful when it came to the definition.

Thus, in a couple of mistakes by the Cancun defense, La Paz opened the scoring at 21', thanks to Michelle Benítez to beat the goalkeeper, Gustavo Gutiérrez.

Cancún FC had no choice but to redouble its efforts to even the score. Raúl Castillo, the great orchestrator, sought to unbalance the balance in favor of his team, but he always appeared well guarded, even by two rivals.

The first half was dying and the Caribbeans could not find the way to decipher the strict defensive device of the visitors. In fact, those led by Raúl Rico made a new score, now in the 42nd minute by Ulises Jaimes, which silenced the respectable team.

Already in the compensation of the first half, the referee, Edgar Ulises Rangel, declared a penalty in favor of the home team. Raúl Castillo executed it with a shot to the base of the left post, right where the goalkeeper, Jonathan Estrada, saved the ball.

The second half was screaming, intense, very dramatic, with the champion launched in search of shortening the disadvantage. He was patient, intelligent, never despaired, he subdued an opponent more concerned with defending than attacking.

First, Benjamín Galindo at 73' and later, the Colombian, José Rodríguez at 88', made the equalizer possible (2-2) via penalty.

The result allows the Caribbean to access 11 units and stay in the fight for the first places. The Baja Californians accumulate 15 points.

On the ninth day, the champion will visit Cimarrones de Sonora, on Sunday, March 10 at the 'Héroe de Nacozari' stadium.
