TIJUANA – (Jan. 16, 2015) Club Tijuana earned its first three points of the season with a 1-0 win against Mexican soccer defending champion Club America in a Week 2 match of the LIGA MX 2015 Clausura Friday night at Estadio Caliente.

Colombian striker Dayro Moreno scored the game winner for the Xoloitzcuintles in the 43rd minute. He took a Gabriel Hauche soft header into the penalty area, beat two defenders and sent a blast past Club America goalkeeper Moises Muñoz.
