Cancún, Quintana Roo, February 15, 2025.- He proposed the game, fought until the end, but could not reflect it on the scoreboard, and Cancún FC suffered the defeat (1-2) at the 'Andrés Quintana Roo' stadium against Venados FC, on the sixth day of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Liga BBVA Expansión MX.

Very early on, Venados created the first great chance of danger, when Jesús López connected with a header, forcing Gustavo Gutiérrez to deflect the ball with one hand.
