CANCUN FC SUFFERS DEFEAT AGAINST THE BULLS OF ATLÉTICO CELAYA

Celaya, Guanajuato, October 5, 2024.- Despite a two-goal disadvantage in the first half, Cancún FC fought until the end, but did not avoid defeat (3-1) against the Toros del Atlético Celaya at the 'Miguel Alemán Valdés' stadium, corresponding to the eleventh day of the 2024 Apertura Tournament of the Liga de Expansión MX.

The host, Celaya, opted for a strict defensive order and exercised great marking on men, such as Cancun's Jorge Díaz Price and Mauro Guadarrama, in addition to the Colombian, José Rodríguez.

The novelty to face the horned ones was the reappearance of Benjamín Galindo, since the rest of the team was exactly the same as the one that beat Coyotes de Tlaxcala a week before.

It was not until the 34th minute that the team from Bajío opened the scoring through Martín Barragán, after taking advantage of a defensive confusion by the Caribbean team, only to push it in.

Five minutes later, Celaya extended the lead, this time with a powerful shot from Carlos Baltazar to the right corner of Gustavo Gutiérrez's goal.

For the complement, the teacher, Luis Arce, entered Alan Rodríguez in substitution of Axl Padilla.

A long-distance shot from Johan Alonzo made the goalkeeper, Gabino Espinoza, and the Guanajuato defense tremble.

At 65', the visitors shortened the gap (2-1) with a penalty goal scored by Colombian José Rodríguez, with a shot at the base of Gabino Espinoza's right post.

Now, Cancún FC was the one that took advantage of the moment to seek the tie against some bureles well withdrawn in the defensive sector.

Just when the Cancun team was insisting the most, eight minutes from the end, Celaya defined the match (3-1) with a goal from the new substitute, Eduardo del Ángel, with a right-footed shot in the small area that beat the goalkeeper, Gustavo Gutiérrez.

The result leaves the Iguanas with ten points. The Toros, meanwhile, have 15.

On matchday 12, Cancún FC will host the Potros de Hierro del Atlante at the 'Andrés Quintana Roo' stadium on Saturday, October 12 at 6:00 p.m.
