Rojas’ goal leads Atlante over Tecos
HOUSTON — Guillermo Rojas scored in the 47th minute and short-handed Atlante beat Estudiantes Tecos 2-1 in Group A play of the Interliga tournament on Saturday night.
Atlante played one man down in the second half after defenseman Jose Daniel Guerrero was sent off late in the first for tripping Tecos midfielder Rubens Oscar Sambueza.
But Atlante took the lead for good two minutes into the second half, when Christian Bermudez threaded a short cross to a sprinting Rojas for an easy goal past goalkeeper Mario Rodriguez.
The InterLiga tournament is an annual eight-team event between Mexican clubs to determine the two that will play in the Copa Libertadores, the South American club championship.
