Guerreros del Pacífico ran riot against Servicios in the Apertura round two clash, registering a 2:0 victory on Friday evening. The hosts seized the initiative from the opening whistle and never looked back. To be fair, it was not the sort of performance you expect when the visitors command such territory.
And here's the thing — the match was essentially over before the hour mark. A goal at the first minute put the home side ahead, and a second eight minutes later buried any hope Servicios might have nurtured. By then, the visitors were chasing shadows across the park.
The statistics tell a curious tale. Servicios held 81 per cent possession while Guerreros made do with 19. Yet the visitors managed just four shots on target against ten for the hosts. It was a masterclass in efficiency rather than dominance.
Guerreros posed more danger from set pieces, winning seven corners to Servicios' three. The visitors failed to register a single shot off target all evening, while the hosts kept their efforts precise. That kind of clinical finishing is what separates good teams from great ones.
The result leaves Servicios rooted at the bottom of the table with zero points from two matches. They have not tasted victory since their opening fixture, and the pressure must be mounting. Guerreros meanwhile sit fourth after their opening win, three points clear of the drop zone.
The table goes out of the window in these games, but the away side's recent record speaks for itself. They lost 2:0 at Dragones de Oaxaca last month and have not found the net in two consecutive outings. This defeat extends that misery considerably.
