The Tijuana goalkeeper missed Pumas’ first goal and had a bad start that was close to scoring before stopping a shot by César Huerta

José de Jesús Corona debuted with the Xolos de Tijuana with a couple of errors. The veteran goalkeeper influenced the Pumas to open the scoring in the Caliente State and looked nervous in the new adventure on the border.

Despite his seniority and leadership, Jesús Corona had a bad influence on the new adventure with the Xolos, after he first released a shot by Eduardo Salvio that ended in a goal by Ulises Rivas. The Mexican goalkeeper dived to the side, but left the rebound in a shot that seemed to carry little danger and almost went to his position.

In this way, the Pumas opened the scoring in the first half, since Rivas accompanied the shot of ‘Toto’ Salvio while the defense remained stopped in the area. This issue prevented them from helping Corona.

Subsequently, Jesús Corona and ‘Toto’ Salvio went hand in hand after Juan Dinenno sent a filtered pass of more than 50 meters. Corona rushed at the start and got in the way, so Salvio finished off first with his head and the ball headed for the goal, but Kevin Balanta managed to get the ball out before he crossed the goal line.

While Pumas was in front on the scoreboard, they dominated the process of the match and pressed the frontiers’ goal on several occasions, but after a couple of errors, Corona began to look better under the three posts.

Jesús Corona even prevented the visitors’ second goal, by stopping a one-on-one against César Huerta. The ‘Chino’ entered the Tijuana area with a free hand and defined with his right leg; However, the Mexican goalkeeper made a good bailout and with his arm prevented the ball from encrusting his goal.

Towards the end of the first half, Xolos managed to match the process of the game, but José de Jesús Corona paid dearly for his debut with the border team, as it was his first game with the Tijuana team after he left Cruz Azul.
