Querétaro FC vs Jaguares Match Preview
In eight total matches against the Jaguares, the Gallos have won just once, when they defeated the Chiapas-based team last season by a score of 1-0.
This Saturday's match, however, has the pundits picking the visitors for a win that would automatically put them through to the playoffs by way of their sixth place spot in the table and 24 points on the season.
Jose Guadalupe Cruz's team have scored just 20 goals, the lowest amount within the top eight teams in the table, but that's been more than enough thanks to their top defense which has allowed just 13 goals from the opposition.
Queretaro can only hope to play spoiler, as their season has netted them just 18 points and have them sitting fourteenth overall in what has been Angel David Comizzo's debut season as team manager.
Querétaro FC vs Jaguares Match Report
Two goals spaced between a two-minute span meant the entirety of the offense between eliminated Querétaro and sixth seed Jaguares at the Corregidora Stadium.
The opening salvo came from Sergio Orteman who scored in the 79th minute off a fantastic individual effort. The response from Chiapas was quick and effective: Jorge Rodríguez made it even in the 81st.
The draw cemented Jaguares' spot in the postseason but made it potentially easier for a couple of teams to leapfrog them in the standings for more favorable matchups.
In the end, the sixth spot means they'll face Santos in the quarterfinals, with the first match coming in Chiapas.
