FC Juarez won 2-1 away to Minnesota United FC in a Leagues Cup Group Stage fixture at Allianz Field, with all three goals arriving inside a frantic first-half spell.

AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Guilherme Castilho put the visitors ahead in the 22nd minute, finishing from a José Rodríguez assist to give FC Juarez an early lead. Minnesota responded quickly through Tomás Chancalay, who levelled matters in the 35th minute, but the reply was short-lived. Three minutes later Óscar Estupiñán restored the visitors' advantage, converting a Jairo Torres assist to make it 2-1, a scoreline that held from half-time to the final whistle.
Minnesota controlled the ball for much of the contest, enjoying 58 percent possession, yet FC Juarez matched them shot for shot with ten attempts apiece and were the more clinical side inside the box. The away team also conceded far fewer corners, winning just one to Minnesota's nine, but made their moments in the final third count where it mattered most.
Jesús Murillo produced the highest-rated display on the pitch at 7.9 without needing a goal contribution, while Óscar Estupiñán backed up his rating of 7.5 with the decisive second-half goal.
