   Pachuca Goalkeeper Scores Stoppage-Time Header Goal

   Pachuca goalkeeper Carlos Moreno scored a dramatic stoppage-time header goal from a corner kick to rescue a 1-1 draw against Atlético San Luis in a Liga MX match. The goal came after Pachuca defender Eduardo Bauermann was sent off in the 33rd minute, leaving the team with one man less for most of the match. This was a needed point for Pachuca, who had lost three straight games, and a disappointing result for Atlético San Luis, who were close to their first win of the season.
