Estudiantes Tecos Vs. San Luis, 2012 Clausura: Potosinos Grab Deserved Win
San Luis are off to a brilliant start in the 2012 Clausura and look very much like a Liguilla team at present. They defeated a poor Estudiantes Tecos side on Friday night, making the most of their chances in a 2-0 victory. After scoring an early goal, San Luis were more concerned with keeping their shape and keeping the ball than they were with creating chances as they tried to hang on to a lead on the road. They made the most of their chances, however, and their second goal was a thing of beauty.
The first goal featured the Tecos defense falling asleep, as has been customary in recent seasons. At the end of a nice passing move in the 18th minute, Wilmer Aguirre touched the ball into the path of Alfredo Moreno, who ripped a shot on target. Christian Martinez made a save, but directed the ball right into Moreno’s path. He finished his second chance, putting his team up 1-0.
