Necaxa vs Puebla Match Report
A single goal by Argentine Nicolas Pavlovich was enough to secure three vital points for Necaxa in their race to avoid relegation.
Puebla were considered a dangerous match for the Rayos coming into the match, as the Camoteros were coming off a win - their first under new manager José Luis Trejo.
A strong defensive showing from Necaxa (undoubtedly their strong suit this season) created little opportunity for Puebla to break through; Pavlovich did the rest, supplying the game's only offensive highlight when he struck home a Tabare Viudez pass in the 28th minute.
