The first goal came in the 11th minute when Jos\u00e9 Iv\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez found the back of the net. Necaxa gained confidence, while Quer\u00e9taro failed to mount a meaningful challenge, highlighting their struggles in the tournament.
The second half saw a similar pattern, with Necaxa controlling the game and Quer\u00e9taro simply watching the match. The second goal came in the 81st minute, with Alexis Pe\u00f1a taking advantage of weak opposition marking to score from a set piece.
This victory lifted Necaxa to fifth place in the championship, while Quer\u00e9taro is in 14th place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
