Rules

Like other match-ups in the knockout round, the teams played two games, one at each team's home stadium. If the teams remained tied after 90 minutes of play during the 2nd leg, the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.[1]

Final summary

Fernando Navarro opened the scoring for Atlante in the 17th minute at Estadio Azul in Mexico City, and Christian Bermúdez added the second in the 24th. Rafael Márquez Lugo set up both goals, which came from close-in shots from six meters.
