Matchday 3 of the Torneo Clausura 2023 of Liga MX ended, which continued to have Tigres at the top but did not dominate as expected, and some other surprises at the beginning of the championship.
Pumas, which was in the news this week due to the case of Dani Alves in Spain, gave one of the surprises of the weekend by beating León 4-1 and moving up to fourth place in the tournament. Juan Dinenno scored a double for the ‘universitarios’ while Gustavo del Prete and Diogo scored the others. Lucas Di Yorio made the discount.
Mazatlán is the only team that has not yet scored any points and lost at home with Santos by 1-2. Ariel Nahuelpán, one of the reinforcements this season, scored the only goal for the ‘cañoneros’, while Juan Brunetta and Harold Preciado did it for the ‘laguneros’, who are fifth in the tournament.
–
América, which was the top candidate before the tournament began, is disappointing a lot at this start and drew 2-2 with Puebla at the Azteca stadium. The ‘águilas’ have not been able to win and have 3 draws in 3 games. Henry Martín and Alejandro Zendejas scored for them, while Gastón Silva and Emanuel Gularte did it for ‘La Franja’.
In the most entertaining game of the weekend, Querétaro and Atlas drew 3-3. It was an up and down of emotions and the ‘gallos blancos’ were always below the score but they managed to match it 3 times, one of those at minute 45+9 of the first half, from a penalty, and the final goal was at 90+9. Rodrigo López, Ángel Supúlveda, and Ettson Ayon Calderón scored for the locals, while Julio Furch, Julián Quiñones, and Christopher Trejo scored for the visitors.
In the other game of the weekend, Necaxa added their first points by beating Cruz Azul 1-0 thanks to a goal from Edgar Méndez.
