5. Isaac Brizuela, Toluca
2 of 7Brizuela carried the ball in style. El Conejito proved his dribbling skills and took advantage of Atlanteโs weak defense to score Toluca's fifth goal.
4. Rodolfo Salinas, Santos
3 of 7Salinas tied the game for Santos at the ninth minute. The midfielder received the ball just outside the box, chested it and sent it straight to the corner of the goal.

3. Rubens Sambueza, America
4 of 7Sambueza keeps converting free kicks in goals. In Matchday 11, the Argentinean scored in Americaโs win over Chiapas.
A powerful right-foot shot and the right effect were enough to leave Edgar Hernandez without a chance and to give Las Aguilas a 1-0 win.
2. Diego De La Torre, Queretaro
5 of 7In the first game of Matchday 12, Queretaro and Tigres drew to two goals. The first one of them, by Diego De La Torre, was a spectacular long-distance shot.
De La Torre received a cross outside the box and did not think twice to strike the ball powerfully; the result was amazing.
1. Raul Nava, Toluca
6 of 7A bicycle kick is never easy, and making it inside the box, with three defenders behind, makes it almost impossible.
Nava took his shot at the 16th minute after a cross from Antonio Rios and gave Toluca its second goal of the afternoon.
