Correcaminos de la U.A.T. earned a vital 3-1 victory over Tepatitlan FC in Mexico’s Ascenso MX on August 1, 2026, delivering a dominant home performance in Ciudad Victoria. The Roadrunners used an energetic start and a clinical second-half display to claim all three points and give their promotion hopes a significant boost.

Early Control and Early Goals

Their pressure paid off when they opened the scoring in the 19th minute, as a well-worked sequence ended with a simple finish from close range. Tepatitlan FC were forced onto the back foot, and the Roadrunners extended their advantage just after the half-hour mark with a curling effort from outside the box that left the visiting goalkeeper with no chance.

Tepatitlan showed more intent after halftime and managed to pull a goal back in the 58th minute, converting a rebound after a free kick. The visitors briefly threatened to make the contest tight, but Correcaminos responded impressively. A third goal in the 74th minute restored the two-goal cushion and sealed the match, allowing the home side to manage the final stages comfortably.
