Liga MX wrap: Santos Laguna, Morelia post wins

A solitary Carlos Quintero goal guided Santos to a 1-0 victory over second-placed America at the Estadio Nuevo Corona.

It was Quintero's second goal in as many matches, and both against top-two opposition, as he helped his side into sixth on the league table with 12 points - five behind leaders Tigres UANL.

Morelia were forced to see off fightbacks from Pachuca before posting a home 3-2 win.

Jefferson Montero fired Morelia ahead, before Abraham Carreno equalised on the half-hour mark for Pachuca.

Hector Mancilla then struck a brace either side of the interval for Morelia, but Pachuca ensured of a tense finish when Angel Reyna was on target in the 80th minute - but it proved to be only consolation.

Morelia moved into eighth with their second win in three matches, while Pachuca stayed fifth after their three-match winning streak came to an end.
