MEXICO CITY, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Pachuca struck three goals in 10 second-half minutes to clinch a 3-2 home win over Juarez in Mexico's Liga MX on Saturday.

After a goalless first half, the game sprang to life early in the second when Juarez's Aitor Garcia sent a cool finish into the far corner after combining with Fransisco Calvo.

The hosts equalized in the 73rd minute through Erick Sanchez, who rifled home from outside the box following a Javier Lopez set piece.

Pachuca took the lead two minutes later as Nelson Dossa sent a 35-yard effort into the bottom-right corner in a move that Lopez again orchestrated.

Venezuelan striker Salomon Rondon then received Sanchez's pass on the counterattack before coolly slotting his shot into the bottom right corner as Pachuca looked headed for a runaway victory.

But Diego Campillo pulled a goal back six minutes from time by blasting a long-range effort into the top-right corner after Garcia's clever pass.

In other Liga MX fixtures on Saturday, Cruz Azul won 3-0 at home to Guadalajara and Toluca prevailed 2-1 at home to Tigres UANL. Enditem
