Ruben Duarte News: Defensive effort in win

Duarte had one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 4-1 win versus Mazatlan.

Duarte had a decent performance, with his six duels won, five tackles and four clearances making up for the lack of clean sheet against the Canoneros. He returned to action after being suspended in the previous match and dealing with a minor knock before the international break. Despite operating as a left-back in three of his last four starts, Duarte will likely be moved to a central spot by the comeback of a rested Alvaro Angulo for future matchups.
