The match, played at Estadio La Corregidora, was marked for a large part of the 90 minutes by a lack of offensive clarity from both teams, but ended with a dramatic outcome in stoppage time.
A close game that exploded at the end
During the first half, scoring opportunities were scarce.
Querétaro had a few close calls, but were unsuccessful.
The clearest chance came in the 28th minute, when Diego Reyes came close to opening the scoring after a shot from a corner kick that hit the post and was inches away from crossing the line.
Goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado also played a key role in maintaining the tie, responding in the most difficult moments to the home team’s attempts.
In the second half, the script did not change much.
Querétaro and Juárez tried to generate danger, but most of their shots lacked precision.
Everything pointed to a scoreless draw… until chaos ensued.
Crazy added time: goals, mistakes and drama
It was in the 90+1 minute when the match between Querétaro and Juárez finally broke down.
After a play full of bounces inside the box, Jhojan Julio took advantage of the defensive mess to take a powerful left-footed shot that beat Jurado and put Querétaro ahead.
However, the referee had added 11 minutes, leaving the door open for an unexpected twist.
And that turn came in 90+11.
A handball in the box by the Querétaro defense was penalized as a penalty kick.
