(VIDEO) Preciado scored a double in Santos’ victory over Querétaro; in that game the defender Torres stood out.
The Ecuadorians Félix Torres and Ayrton Preciado from Santos Laguna are part of the ideal eleven of the sixteenth day of the Apertura-2021 tournament. The tricolores stood out in the victory (3-2) of the Laguneros over Querétaro.
On Saturday at La Corregidora Stadium, with their triumph, Santos moved into ninth place with 20 points to increase their hopes of reaching the playoffs.
The first two goals were from Preciado. The tricolor scored 1-0 at minute 4 with a shot from the left peak of the area and placed the ball in the upper corner on the same side. The 2-0 went to 28 with a touch on the fly inside the area. While Torres excelled in defense to contain the onslaught of the Querétaro gunners.
“We must highlight the effort, the team did not lower their arms, they fought until the end against a team that was also fighting to qualify. Delivery is something that characterizes us, we deserved to win because we were superior, “said Preciado at the end of the game.
The Ecuadorian scored his first two goals in this tournament in which he has only played 156 minutes in four games, and was included in the ideal team of the day by Liga MX.
A key factor in this Santiago victory was the Chilean Diego Valdés who gave the assist for the 2-0 and scored the 3-2 in a dramatic way with a spectacular free kick in the 87th minute.
Gignac also achieved a double
André-Pierre Gignac also appeared in the ideal team of the day by scoring the goals in the 2-1 triumph that the Tigres achieved over Guadalajara and with which they placed third in the table to get closer to the direct classification to the league.
The French attacker scored 1-0 at minute 4 with a sudden free kick more than 25 meters from the goal and also made it 2-0 with a forceful shot in the area at 79.
It took almost a year for Gignac to score a new double with the Tigres: the previous one was on November 22, 2020 in the 2-1 victory against Toluca.
With these two entries, Gignac reached three in the league tournament and 152 in all competitions with the Tigers, a team he arrived in 2015.
Thus, the French striker once again manifested himself as a scorer against the four teams considered “great” in Mexican football: he has 13 goals against Pumas, 11 against the Eagles of America, 10 against the ‘Chivas’ of Guadalajara and has six against Cruz Blue. (D)
