Mazatlan and San Luis will trade tackles in a Liga MX Apertura round two fixture on Friday (July 12th). The home side kick-started their campaign with a 1-0 defeat away to Cruz Azul last week.
Azul were reduced to 10 men in the 75th minute when Camilo Candido was sent off just seven minutes after stepping off the bench. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Los Celestes claimed maximum points with late substitute Bryan Gamboa scoring the match-winner in injury time.
San Luis, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 2-1 comeback home win over Club America. They went behind to Henry Martin's fifth-minute strike but Mateo Klimowicz drew the game level two minutes later. The German forward scored the match-winner five minutes into the second half.
The win took them to third spot in the table on three points. Mazatlan occupy 14th-place on zero points.
