Luck was not on the side of Osama Idrissi and his team, Pachuca, as they were defeated 1-2 at home by León, who features Colombian star James Rodríguez, in a postponed match from the first round of the final stage of the Mexican league (Clausura). Idrissi shone in the game as he assisted his team’s only goal, but luck was not on his side on several occasions.
The visitors took advantage of a counterattack to surprise Pachuca with a goal by Venezuelan Kadiz Fernandez in the 5th minute. However, Osama Idrissi led his team to equalize before the halftime whistle. The Moroccan winger dribbled down the left wing and sent in a cross that John Kennedy converted into a goal in the third minute of injury time.
The first half would end with bad news for the home team, as they would have to continue the game with a numerical disadvantage after their player Montiel was sent off for a foul on James Rodríguez. After that, León managed to score the winning goal in the 64th minute, and that would be the final score, despite Pachuca’s attempts.
