  • Chilean player Felipe Mora scored for San Luis in their 1-1 draw against Pachuca in the Mexican Apertura league.
  • San Luis dominated possession but struggled with finishing, while Pachuca played with 10 men after an early expulsion.
  • Pachuca equalized in added time with a header from goalkeeper Carlos Moreno.

The Mexican Apertura league saw San Luis held to a 1-1 draw against Pachuca, with Chilean forward Felipe Mora scoring for the home side. San Luis controlled possession throughout the first half, creating chances through Anderson Duarte and Mora, supported by Johan Caicedo. However, their offensive efforts lacked potency. The match took a turn in the 33rd minute when Pachuca's Brazilian defender Eduardo dos Santos was sent off, reducing the visitors to ten men. Despite the numerical advantage, San Luis struggled to capitalize, with their forwards, including Rafael Llorente and Duarte, failing to convert opportunities.

Mora had a particularly frustrating evening in front of goal. Early in the second half, he missed a clear chance, shooting over the bar after being set up by Duarte. Later, he had a close-range effort blocked by Pachuca's Jorge Berlanga after a scramble in the box. San Luis finally broke the deadlock in the 83rd minute when Mora struck a shot into the top corner, seemingly securing a victory for his team.

However, Pachuca snatched a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Goalkeeper Carlos Moreno, joining the attack for a corner, met the ball with a header to level the score at 1-1. The match concluded with this late equalizer, denying San Luis the win despite their overall dominance. The league action will continue later with a match between Pumas UNAM, featuring Keylor Navas, and Necaxa.
