Fullerton took a 2-1 lead in the 15th minute and held the advantage all the way until the 55th minute. RHC's Jose Mederos scored off the assist from Fernando Guerrero to tie up the contest before Abel Trejo (Roman Delgado assist) came through with the game-winning goal in the 70th minute to help secure the victory for the Roadrunners.
Rio Hondo also got a first-half goal from Moses Gutierrez in the 10th minute off the assist from Mauricio Sanchez.
Jose Paredes posted six saves in goal for the Roadrunners to earn the win.
