Match report

Pachuca and Tijuana played out a 2:2 draw in Liga MX Apertura round 9 at Estadio Hidalgo on September 21st, 2026. Tijuana progressed on away goals after an eventful second half. The result leaves Pachuca in 12th place with 11 points from eight games, while Tijuana move up to 10th with 13 points from seven.

Gilberto Mora opened the scoring with a penalty in the 17th minute. Jesus Gomez equalised for Pachuca in the 42nd before Salomón Rondón gave the hosts a 2:1 lead in the 55th. And here's the thing — Tijuana responded immediately with a second Rondón goal in the 90th.

The finish brought drama. Benjamín Mora Mendívil received a red card in the 90+1 minute for Tijuana. Diego Fernando Abreu Firenze was shown yellow shortly after. The match ended with Pachuca unable to hold on despite controlling possession.

Both sides made several changes around the break. Pachuca brought on Rodolfo Pizarro, Alan Bautista and Oussama Idrissi at half-time. Gilberto Mora and Ramiro Árciga came off in the 63rd minute. Francisco Venegas and Angel Zapata followed in the 68th and 71st.

Pachuca dominated the statistics. They held 58 per cent possession and registered 22 shots on target against Tijuana's five. Expected goals stood at 2.77 for the hosts versus 1.76 for the visitors. Shots accuracy was 38 per cent for Pachuca but 63 per cent for Tijuana — efficiency often decides these games.

The away goals rule proved decisive. Tijuana scored twice away from home while Pachuca's goals came at Estadio Hidalgo. That single detail shifted the entire narrative of the match. By then the table position mattered less than the result itself.

We had backed a home win at 53 per cent confidence. The prediction didn't come to pass. Tijuana found a way back into it when it mattered most.
