La Tribu de Ciudad Juárez opened their Apertura campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Atlético Saltillo at the home ground on Friday evening. The away side showed little hesitation in taking all three points from their opening fixture, finishing with a comfortable margin that put them at the top of the table after just one match.
The result sees La Tribu de Ciudad Juárez sit first with three points from their solitary game, while Atlético Saltillo remain in ninth place having dropped points in their season opener. The visitors found no answer from the hosts once they settled into their rhythm, and the scoreline reflected a match where the away side controlled proceedings for large periods.
It is always difficult to read into a single opening round result, though the visitors' performance carried confidence. They never got out of second gear when attacking, and Atlético Saltillo could not muster enough response to keep things competitive. The home side will need to regroup before their next fixture.
No detailed statistics were available for this fixture, so possession figures and shot counts remain unrecorded. The final score tells the story adequately enough — four goals to one in favour of the visitors who made the most of their opportunities.
For Atlético Saltillo, this is a setback to address. They will look to pick one up next time out and climb away from the bottom half. La Tribu de Ciudad Juárez, meanwhile, have started their campaign with momentum and will hope to build on this foundation.
