Estudiantes Tecos Vs. Club Tijuana, 2012 Mexican Primera: Xolos Defeat Tecos 2-0
Club Tijuana continued their strong form under coach Antonio Mohamed and defeated Estudiantes Tecos 2-0 Friday. Second-half goals from Pepe Sand and Egidio Arevalo Rios powered the visiting Xolos to victory. The win moves Tijuana closer to staying in the Mexican Primera next season and helps them keep pace in the liguilla race.
