HOW IT HAPPENED

• In front of a crowd of 3,632 people at Snadragon Stadium, the Toreros took control of the flow of the game early in the evening.
• The Toreros limited the Aztecs to just one shot in the opening 45 minutes.

• Despite the shot advantage, the Aztecs struck first in the 53rd minute, taking a 1-0 lead.
