León 0–1 Tijuana: Penalty decides Liga MX Apertura clash

Club León lost 1‑0 to Club Tijuana at Estadio Caliente in Tijuana in the second round of the Liga MX Apertura 2026. The only goal came from a Gilberto Mora penalty, after a second spot‑kick was awarded in the closing minutes. León goalkeeper Óscar García made a notable early save, but could not prevent the decisive strike, leaving León without points after two defeats.

Ahead of the match, Tijuana entered with four wins in six league games, while León had suffered three losses in its recent six outings. Betting markets reflected León’s underdog status, offering roughly $300 for a $100 stake on a León win, and highlighted scorer odds such as Josef Martínez (+450) and Diego Abreu (+500) for a first‑goal bet.

The result kept Tijuana on a positive run and heightened pressure on León to secure its first point of the season.
