5. Aldo Polo, Tijuana
2 of 7Aldo Polo scored the equalizer for Xolos in the 34th minute. Dario Benedetto assisted him from the center of the pitch.
Polo cut in from the left to the box, and he waited for the goalkeeper to come out to put the ball over his head. A first-class execution.
4. Mauro Cejas, Santos
3 of 7Mauro Cejas' goal put an end to America's unbeaten streak. The definition from outside the box was superb.
This was the first goal of Cejas with Santos. He previously played for Pachuca.
3. Dario Burbano, Leon
4 of 7Dario Burbano got lucky in the game against Veracruz. The Colombian tried to send a cross and instead put the ball in the back of the net.
Burbano has become a key player for Leon. The team got to the playoffs in their first tournament back from relegation, but in the second one, they finished in the 15th place of the table.
2. Nery Cardozo, Monterrey
5 of 7Nery Cardozo surprised Oscar Perez three minutes before the halftime.
Cardozo scored his 23rd goal with "Rayados" in style. Marlon de Jesus chested the ball to the ground to assist Nery, who shot from outside the box.
This was Monterrey's first victory with new coach Jose Guadalupe.
1. Marco Fabian, Guadalajara
6 of 7Marco Fabian reconciled with his fans after several weeks of hostilities, which came as the result of Fabian's desire to leave Guadalajara for a Qatari club—it ultimately did not happen.
Marco smashed the ball in the crossbar in the 69th minute, when "Chivas" was losing 2-1 to Xolos.
However, 13 minutes later he took over a set piece that resulted in a spectacular shot from outside the box that Cirilo Saucedo could not stop.
