The Matchday 15 of the Apertura MX 2023 has wrapped up, and now, the outcomes we got make things interesting for the next two matchdays.
The first thing to point out is that some teams have secured their spots in the Liguilla, which puts some weight off their shoulders as they prepare for what is coming up afterward. The clearest example is Club América, who not only sealed their ticket, but they are sure nobody can even touch them at the top anymore.
It is the bunch of teams between spots 6 and 10 that need to make the best of their next few matchdays to avoid dropping out their chances to reach the Liguilla.
Let us break down some of the results we got on the last matchday of the Apertura 2023.

Where Can I Watch?
Everything seemed to indicate that, despite being in restructuring after the departure of Ignacio Ambriz, Toluca would have an easy day against a team eliminated from the Apertura 2023. However, Puebla surprised everyone and came away with three valuable points (0-1) on their visit to the hell of Nemesio Diez.
With a solitary goal from Guillermo MartÃnez, who did not waste his opportunity from the eleventh step, those led by Ricardo Carbajal stole the smiles from the scarlet fans. The Mexican center forward completely fooled the Brazilian goalkeeper Tiago Volpi and, with his polite left foot, sent the ball into the back of the net.

Monterrey had no major problem against a Necaxa that went to defend their goal, but ended up giving in to the offensive power of ‘Rayados’. ‘La Pandilla’ wants to finish in the highest places in the table, while the ‘Rayos’ consummated their terrible season by being mathematically eliminated.
