James Rodríguez scored his first goal in Mexican football, securing victory for Club León and bringing them to third place in the overall standings with 6 points in two matches played. The León team had one game less compared to other teams, as their first opponent, Pachuca, postponed their match due to their participation in the Club World Cup.
In an exciting Liga MX match against FC Juárez on the third matchday of the championship, Rodríguez scored from the penalty spot, standing out as the protagonist. In a disputed play in the opponent's area, the Colombian player was involved in contact with a defender and the rival goalkeeper, resulting in a penalty for his team. Rodríguez took responsibility and converted with a powerful shot to the left side of the goal, leaving the opposing goalkeeper with no options.
In the previous match against Atlas, Rodríguez had the opportunity to score from the penalty spot but chose to hand the penalty to another teammate. This time, he did not hesitate to take responsibility and achieved his first goal in Mexican football.
