On March 22, 2026, Atlas and Querétaro faced off at Estadio Jalisco, but the match ended without any goals, resulting a 0-0 draw. The game, held at 7:00 AM local time, showcased the struggles both teams have faced this season, with Atlas holding a modest position of 12th place and Querétaro languishing at the bottom of the Liga MX standings.
Atlas dominated possession throughout the match, controlling the ball for 64.1% of the game compared to Querétaro's 35.9%. This dominance, unfortunately for the home side, did not translate into scoring opportunities. The team managed to take 17 shots, with 3 on target, but were unable to find the back of the net. Querétaro, on the other hand, had 13 attempts, with 2 shots on goal, indicating a lack of efficiency on both sides.
Referee Luis Alfredo García Rodríguez oversaw a match that featured a total of two yellow cards, both issued to Querétaro players, with Ali Avila and Bernardo Parra receiving bookings at the 34th and 84th minutes, respectively. This disciplinary action highlighted Querétaro's struggle to maintain composure under pressure, particularly during a match where they were heavily outplayed.
Both teams made several substitutions throughout the match, with Atlas replacing players like Diego Gonzalez with Sergio Ismael Hernandez Flores at the 81st minute, and Eduardo Aguirre coming on for Augustín Rodríguez at the 72nd minute. Querétaro also made late substitutions, including Jhojan Julio coming off for Waldo Madrid and Mateo Coronel being replaced by Eduardo Perez Reyes, both occurring just before the final whistle.
Atlas's current standing reflects their mixed performance this season, with 12 games played, 5 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses, leaving them with 18 points and a goal difference of -2. Querétaro, meanwhile, continues to struggle, having only secured 1 win out of 11 matches, alongside 5 draws and 5 losses, resulting 8 points and a goal difference of -8.
The lack of goals and the inability to capitalize on chances has become a recurring theme for both teams this season. Atlas, once a formidable force, is now grappling with inconsistency, and their fans are left yearning for a return to form. Meanwhile, Querétaro's performance raises questions about their strategy and execution on the field, particularly after a match where they failed to convert opportunities into goals.
This match serves to underline the challenges faced by both teams, with Atlas needing to convert their possession into goals to climb the standings, and Querétaro needing to find a way to break their streak of poor results. With the season progressing, both teams will need to reassess their tactics and find ways to improve if they hope to achieve their respective goals.
Fans left Estadio Jalisco disappointed, but the draw provides a moment of reflection for both teams. Each side has the opportunity to regroup and strategize for their upcoming matches, hoping to turn their fortunes around. The question remains: can Atlas find their scoring touch, and will Querétaro finally secure a victory to lift their spirits?
