Watch out for these players

José de Jesús González, is an element to follow for Tapatío with 2 goals in 4 games in the Expansion tournament, Tepa has not been able to do much in the subsidiary, he spent more time in the first team with 9 games in 256 minutes he could not score. 


But with his great soccer he has proven to be a complete striker, header and setter of assists. 


Jonny Alexander Uchuari with 15 games has scored 2 goals in the regular tournament and in the liguilla there were 2 goals scored by the Ecuadorian.

What happened in the first leg?

The red-and-white team won the first leg with goals from Juan Jesús Brigido, a great double from the Tapatío player, but Morelia tried to get stronger at home. Jonny Alexander Uchuari scored the goal that shortened the score, giving life to the Canarios. 
Brigido reached 5 goals in the championship, the youngster from Mexicali, Baja California will be one of the elements to follow for the next second leg, where he already showed us that with both legs he has a cannon.
The final score was 2-1 in the first leg, with a high probability that the Canaries will score a goal to send the game to overtime. The locals are expected to have some elements that are not used in the first team, such as Zahid Muñoz or Luis Olivas.
