The first half offered little on the scoreboard, with Necaxa's Raul Alejandro Martinez Ruiz the only player cautioned before the break when he went into the book in the 43rd minute. Atlante then hit quickly after halftime. Eugenio Pizzuto opened the scoring at 46 minutes, with Luis Calzadilla supplying the assist, to put the visitors in front and change the shape of the contest.
Necaxa responded from the bench as Emi Rodriguez and Francisco Javier Mendez Lara were introduced in the 53rd and 54th minutes, with Rogelio Cortez joining later. Atlante also shuffled their side, bringing on Walter Clar before replacing both Pizzuto and Calzadilla in the 72nd minute. The visitors picked up further yellow cards through Nico Carrera in the 69th minute and Walter Portales in the 86th.
The turning point came late. Julian Carranza converted from the penalty spot in the 81st minute to level the score at 1-1, and Necaxa kept pushing. A late home goal was confirmed in the closing moments before Miguel Misael Pedroza Aguilar struck at 90 minutes, with Carranza credited for the assist.
