📝 Necaxa claim first win of the tournament against Gallos Blancos
But the team from Aguascalientes became overconfident and Querétaro scored before the end of the first half.
During the second half, a very even duel was played in midfield, and it wasn't until the 78th minute that Gago's team sealed the match.
Necaxa will host América in the third matchday, while the Roosters will fly home to face Pumas before the Leagues Cup begins.
