The only pleasant surprise for Mexico in the Leagues Cup has been the Gallos Blancos del Querétaro, a team that many considered eliminated since the group round and that, this Monday, took the lead against the New England Revolution thanks to a score validated by the VAR, which had previously been annulled by the arbitration quartet.
Surprisingly, only Jaime Gómez appeared in the area to head a mistake at the start of the Serbian goalkeeper Dorde Petrovic, who stayed halfway looking at the ball. That was taken advantage of by Jimmy, who connected with his head to the nets for Querétaro’s 1-0, but the assistant raised the flag and the central defender said that he did not count the goal.
On this occasion, the VAR intervened favorably for the Mexican team. After a few minutes of deliberation, the goal by Gallos Blancos was considered good just at the start of the match, putting the Queretaros in the face of a historic classification on the Revolution court.
New England tied at 77 ′
The Roosters forgave two clear options, at least, after taking the lead and they paid dearly for it. A shot on the edge of the area by midfielder Esmir Bajraktarevic ended up in the back of the net for the tie at one.
Fortunately for the people of Querétaro, in a penalty shootout they were imposed thanks to a notable participation of the young goalkeeper Fernando Tapia, who contained two of the four executions of those from Major League Soccer.
Let’s remember that the feathered are the only club in the Liga MX that goes on that side of the key in the Leagues Cup, since the survivors América, Tigres, Rayados and Toluca are located on the other side and, if that is the case, they will eventually they would face, as is the case of the Clásico Regio that we will experience in the Round of 16 this Tuesday.
