Match report
Piratas secured a clean 3-0 victory over Durango in the third round of the Lliga de Expansión MX Apertura on Friday evening. The visitors took all three points with goals from I. Doumbouya and J. Venegas, then sealed the result through J. Gamboa late on.
Durango started brightly enough, but it was Piratas who broke the deadlock in the 55th minute when I. Doumbouya found the net. The home side pushed for an equaliser, yet Piratas doubled their lead through J. Venegas in the 64th minute before J. Gamboa added a third just before the hour mark.
By then, the match had settled into a pattern that suited the visitors. Piratas created two big chances compared to Durango's zero, and their shot accuracy of 18 per cent told the story better than the possession figures. Durango held 49 per cent of the ball but managed no shots on target throughout.
The home side's defensive vulnerabilities showed in the clearances statistics — 14 compared to Piratas' 30 — suggesting they were under sustained pressure. Their goalkeeper made just one save, while the visitors' shot count of eleven total attempts produced three goals.
Piratas moved up to fourth place with 11 points from seven games, while Durango remained in 12th with 8 points. The result ended a run of two consecutive draws for the visitors, who had previously beaten Monarcas 1-0.
