Historical protest at Carlos Vega Villalba
Matchday 1 of the MX Expansion League had an unusual start. Mineros de Zacatecas and Correcaminos tied 3-3, but the score remained in the background. When the initial whistle blew, the 22 players staged a one-minute peaceful demonstration: backward passes, lateral passes and no pressure.
The complaint was clear against the abolition of promotion and relegation in Mexican soccer. After that minute, the game flowed normally. Duván Mina opened the scoring at 20′, and Mauro Pérez equalized before the break.
In the complement, José Ávila scored an agonizing double. Oliver Pérez and Omar Islas also scored to seal the final 3-3. Neither the clubs nor the League have commented so far.
The tie reflects both the competitiveness of the tournament and the urgency of a real dialogue about the future of national football.
