With South American talent on board, Pachuca became unstoppable during his visit to Necaxa and dominated throughout the first half with the following masterfully executed artwork by Avilés for 0-2 in the afternoon:

Avilés is a specialist in this type of action, because on April 1, 2017 he scored a goal of equal or better than this to Atlas de Guadalajara in the tournament ending that year, as can be seen below in a set-piece play initiated by Joe Corona and which earned him to be awarded as the best goal of the 2017 Clausura Tournament:

An unbeatable start is having Pachuca as the temporary and solo leader of the 2022 Clausura Tournament Grita México, recording 9 points and a goal difference of +4 in three wins and one loss to Club León. Those led by Uruguayan Guillermo Almada are already thinking of hosting Querétaro on Monday 4 February 14 at the Miguel Hidalgo Stadium in the city of Pachuca de Soto.

In this Pachuca squad facing the 2022 Clausura are also Colombian defenders Yairo Moreno, Oscar Murillo and Geisson Perea. Moreno and Murillo are absent due to injury and absence from the Colombia squad for qualifiers against Peru and Argentina, while Perea (former Atlético Nacional player) was a substitute during the 90 minutes played by the Tuzos in Aguascalientes.
