The Atlas of Guadalajara, where Colombia's goalkeeper Camilo Vargas saves, remains undefeated in the 2022 clausura tournament with 11 points obtained in five matches played.

The rojinegros, the current champions of the Mexican first division football, faced Puebla at the Cuahtemoc Stadium on Friday night, February 11 wearing a yellow uniform and equalized 1-1 letting slip the three points in addition time with an impressive goal from Chilean striker converted by the striker Guillermo Martinez.

Another figure in the match was the centre-forward from Nariño, Julián Quiñones, who converted the first goal of the night to the 85th minute after VAR cancelled a goal for Puebla along the way and Paraguayan goalkeeper Antony Silva saved a maximum penalty to Argentinian Julio Furch de Atlas.

Development of the match:

Camilo Vargas became huge in the 17th minute of the match after being in a heads-up against Puebla's right-back, Gustavo Ferrareis. The Brazilian received a brilliant in-depth pass from Argentina's Federico Mancuello and Camilo was able to stretch his right leg in time to avoid falling his goal in the first clear approximation of the match:

In the 35th minute, the Colombian goalkeeper saved his goal again and gave a sigh to his teammates and coach Diego Cocca. A shot executed by Venezuelan Fernando Aristeguieta and blocked the Argentinian defender of Atlas, Hugo Nervo, left the entire goal served to Gustavo Ferrareis, who finished off point-blank on his right leg.

Ferrareis' shot bounced off and drifted in Hugo Nervo to the goal, but Camilo Vargas was able to send the shot to the side taking advantage of his reflections in the air:

Vargas was quite beaten two minutes after the save after a split ball in which his humanity crashed the head of midfielder Diego de Buen.

Before the partial whistle for halftime of the game between La Franja and the Aurinegro club, Atlas had the way to go up on the scoreboard with a deviant header recorded by right-back Diego Barbosa.

Colombian striker Julián Quiñones received a yellow card for protesting referee Victor Cáceres after that action.

Second half:

In the 51st minute of the match VAR cancelled a mid-distance goal to Puebla converted by Israel Reyes. A double fault that made Edgar Zaldívar an action prior to the auction was reviewed several times by the referee who infringed Federico Mancuello and Lucas Maia.

In the 60th minute, a hand inside the area of Juan Pablo Segovia resulted in maximum penalty in favor of Atlas. The visitors appointed Argentina's Julio Furch to collect from the twelve steps and who looked perfect was Paraguayan goalkeeper Antony Silva after guessing the shot to the stick of his left hand.

Atlas drowned out the goal cry again in the 83rd minute, after Colombian striker Julián Quiñones scored ahead what would have been the 0-1 of the night at the Cuahtemoc Stadium.

The defending champion was able to react and shout the first goal in the 85th minute when Julián Quiñones made a diagonal in the middle lane of the court and after controlling and receiving the pass from Edgar Zaldívar, he got rid of his mark and broke Antony Silva's goal with a left-handed shot raised to his closest club, thus dedicating the goal to his daughter at the celebration.

Camilo Vargas, who was not so demanded about the end of the second half, won the goal of the date and worthy of a Puskás award. However, in the 90+4′, Guillermo Martínez invented a luxury goal and acrobatically sentenced the final 1-1.

It all came out of a band kick. The Mexican striker controlled a ball combed by Uruguayan Kevin Ramírez inside the Atlas area and with his head he raised the ball to make a perfect Chilean and sentence the draw with the euphoria and breath of the entire stadium on his side.
