The single-goal victory at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo further solidified Cancun's reputation as a formidable force on their own pitch. The match's only goal came from a first-half penalty, awarded after a handball in the box, which was calmly converted by Cancun's captain. The rest of the game was a tense affair, with Chivas Tapatío pushing for an equalizer but finding Cancun's defense in stubborn form, led by a goalkeeper who made several key saves.

The Chivas Tapatío manager argued the penalty decision was harsh but credited Cancun's defensive organization.
