# Pachuca Falls to Queretaro in Stunning Upset

CF Pachuca suffered a surprising defeat at home, losing 2-1 to Club Queretaro in a match that defied pre-game expectations. Despite opening the scoring early through Santiago Rondon in the third minute, Pachuca could not maintain their advantage as Queretaro mounted an impressive second-half comeback. Alfredo Avila proved to be the match winner, scoring twice—once in the fifty-eighth minute and again in the ninety-minute—to secure an unlikely victory for the visitors.

The result represented a major upset, as the model had heavily favored either a Pachuca win or a draw, assigning Queretaro just an eight percent chance of victory. Avila's outstanding performance, which earned him a nine-point-two rating, was the decisive factor in turning the match around, while Carlos Moreno's solid defensive display for Pachuca proved insufficient to prevent the collapse. Queretaro's resilience and clinical finishing ultimately made the difference in what turned out to be one of the day's most unexpected outcomes.
