The second game of the Friday night doubleheader featured Atlas hosting Veracruz in what could well be the battle to avoid demotion at the end of the year. Atlas took a big step towards survival with a 2-0 home win. After a scoreless first half, Milton Caraglio headed in both second-half goals for Atlas.
