The excitement of the Liga MX Closing Tournament continues, and the teams are already facing the final stretch of the regular season, so from now on, the matches are really important for the teams’ future.
Monterrey continues in its best moment, and with a record of 10-1-1, no team can likely catch them, as they are eight points ahead of their closest pursuers, América.
Toluca continues to surprise and is fully involved in the fight for a direct place in the Liguilla, but now for three places, this fight involves up to six teams. Tigres and Chivas have fallen into a slump in the season but still have chances to recover.
There is no doubt that this will be a spectacular close to the tournament, which translates into more exciting matches for all Liga MX fans.

Rafa Puente Jr.’s unsustainable project and Pumas’ debacle continue. On Sunday, the felines were defeated by Pachuca, who took all three points with a 2-0 win.
Although it looked like a tough match against the reigning champions of Mexican soccer, Pumas ultimately gave up when Gustavo del Prete was sent off after 30 minutes for a foul on Erick Sánchez.
Thanks to this timely action, Pachuca got into the game and scored first in the second half. Francisco Figueroa provided a fantastic assist for José Castillo, who headed in for the Tuzos.
After 79 seconds, Pachuca increased their lead to 2-0 thanks to a great play. Sebastián Sosa had knocked a ball away from a set piece when Mauricio Isas, who had just entered the field of play, found him. This caught the feline defense by surprise.
