Leones Negros UDG secured a 2-1 victory over Durango in the fifth round of the Apertura stage of the Liga de Expansión MX on August 23rd. The visitors came from behind to take all three points at home soil, extending their strong start to the campaign. By then, the table picture was already shifting in their favour.
Durango struck first through S. A. Hernandez in the twelfth minute, capitalising on early pressure. Leones Negros responded before the break when L. Razo equalised in the forty-second minute, and J. Angulo converted a penalty shortly after half-time to put the visitors ahead. The home side had chances but could not find the net again.
