Toluca continues to win games left and right, and this time, their victim was none other than Tigres UANL. After an intense battle at the Nemesio Diez Stadium, the Red Devils could take a 2-1 victory.
Toluca was much more than Tigres in this match, no doubt about that. The home team had up to 23 scoring chances with 7 shots on goal, while the visitors only created four dangerous situations, with only one shot on goal, which they converted.
However, the match started very well for the felines, as they managed to score 1-0 thanks to Ozziel Herrera at minute 35. However, the team’s joy was short-lived, as at minute 45+6′, Sebastián Córdova was sent off, which greatly conditioned the visiting squad.
In the second half, Toluca went on the attack with the numerical advantage and turned the score around with goals in the 54th and 71st minutes through Alexist Vega and Tiago Volpi, respectively.
Result: Toluca (2) – (1) Tigres

Cruz Azul continues to demonstrate its excellent level of play in the Clausura 2024 tournament and managed to crush Chivas with a score of 3-0.
The Cementeros were superior to Chivas, and in less than 35 minutes, they completely sentenced the match. We indeed enjoyed a great performance by Cruz Azul, but there is no denying that we didn’t see much intensity from either side.
Lorenzo Faravelli started the match with a great goal in the 7th minute to give the home team an early lead. That, undoubtedly, made Cruz Azul come alive and attack a little more aggressively. Finally, in minutes 27′ and 33′, Uriel Antuna scored the team’s other two goals to lead them to a crushing 3-0 victory.
Result: Cruz Azul (3) – (0) Chivas
