Amaury Escoto scored an early contender for goal of the season as Lobos BUAP earned a shock victory over Chivas, beating the defending champions 2-1 at the Estadio Chivas.
The Liga MX newcomers took a first half lead when Luis Advincula took advantage of a deflected shot inside the box to fire the visitors into the lead.

A second half surge from Chivas, however, including the return of Alan Pulido from a serious shoulder injury, finished with Rodolfo Pizarro placing a long range effort into the back of the net.

After surviving a downpour of Chivas attacks, Amaury Escoto scored the goal of the game and possibly the season. With five minutes to go in the game, Escoto unleashed a phenomenal overhead kick from the edge of the box to give Rafa Puente Jr’s men all three points.
