Violante found the net in the 50th minute with a shot that deflected off Nicol\u00e1s Fonseca, while Morales equalized at 60′ after a great assist from Alexis Vega.
Toluca’s joy was short-lived, as just four minutes later, Echeverr\u00eda struck again with a weak low shot that debutant goalkeeper Pau L\u00f3pez\u2014who arrived from Girona\u2014failed to stop, putting Le\u00f3n ahead 3-2.
However, in the 85th minute, Morales scored again with a shot to the corner, where goalkeeper \u00d3scar Jim\u00e9nez could have done better but slipped at the crucial moment.
