At the Estadio Caliente, Xolas de Tijuana hosted Santos Laguna’s Guerreras in a northern showdown that ended with points shared after a 1-1 draw. The match, part of the Apertura 2025 tournament, saw the home side trying to impose their style against a disciplined and combative rival.

The tactical approach was clear from the outset: Tijuana lined up in a 5-3-2, focused on defensive solidity and quick transitions, while Santos deployed a 4-3-3 in an attempt to control the midfield. The game was physical and hard-fought, with the rojinegras creating the clearest chances, but lacking the finishing touch to tilt the scoreboard in their favor.

Both teams found the net, sealing a draw that left mixed feelings. For Xolas, the sense remains that they could have earned more, but it also confirmed that at home they show a stronger face, with evident improvement and the backing of their fans.

As the tournament progresses, the question lingers: will this steady form at the border be enough for the Reinas del Mictlán to secure a place in the playoffs?
