Matchday 7 of the Clausura MX 2024 shook the table quite a bit, and although the three teams that were at the helm are still close to the top, they’ll have it hard to displace Cruz Azul and Pachuca, who this tournament recovered in a great way after poor seasons.

Chiva’s great run of three wins was stopped by a stubborn Mazatlán team that is not willing to fall short in the race for the play-in positions.
The Rebaño started well with goals by Guzmán before the hour mark. However, already in the dying embers of the match, Amarilla at the 87th and 90+10 got the tie, the last after Padilla received a red card following a VAR revision.Â
Now Mazatlán has another difficult challenge against América, while Chivas is playing with Necaxa at the moment of writing.

For the first time in many months, América lost a key match for the Liga MX. It’s the first time the Eagles lost for the league since their defeat against San Luis at the Apertura MX 2023 playoffs, in a series that was already sealed.Â
Pachuca is somewhat irregular, but when the team is playing well, it becomes a storm that troubles its rival with great pace. This was the case in this game as well, as even if the Azulcremas had the highest percentage of possession, they didn’t have control of the game, and the locals were more incisive.
All the fun started in the second half, with a Quiñonez discount sandwiched between goals by Erick Sánchez. With their victory in the reprogramed match for today, the Tuzos are well-established at the top.

After many seasons in the doldrums, particularly since their last title in 2021, Cruz Azul seems to have woken up, and the new project is starting to take pace. They had an acid test receiving Tigres but obtained the victory thanks to an own goal by Reyes.
The match broke up at injury time, and Tercero and Ditta saw red cards. The Cementeros were the leaders of Liga MX for a little while until Pachuca played today, and tomorrow they face León with the chance of recovering the first place.

Monterrey and Toluca shared the spoils in a boring match that surprised many, in a bad way. Both teams are accustomed to scoring a healthy amount of goals, but this time, they were pretty poor in offense. The visitors couldn’t even shoot on target, and let’s remember, they were the highest-scoring team in the league for some weeks.
