The two-time SCCL champion extended its unbeaten streak in the competition to a record 14 games (10W-4D-0L).

With the match barely two minutes old, Dominguez set the tone as he beat David Ramirez on the left flank before depositing an eight-yard shot to the far post for a 1-0 lead.

Uribe, whose shot from distance was denied by goalkeeper Aaron Cruz in the fourth minute, left no doubt in the 35th minute on the strength of a spectacular half-volley from the penalty spot off Oribe Peralta's feed for a 2-0 margin.

In the 45th minute, Dominguez raced nearly half the field before drilling a 16-yard shot for a 3-0 advantage.

Renato Ibarra added a fourth, firing home from atop the box in the 59th minute.

The host pulled one back in the 74th minute as Ariel Rodriguez converted his own rebound past goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin for his sixth career SCCL goal.

Uribe closed out the scoring in the 79th minute
