Last Sunday, August 28, the 11th round of the Liga MX opening tournament ended, leaving many movements in the general classification table, especially at the top, where we have a new leader, Monterrey, which is followed by America, which continues its excellent momentum, Santos Laguna, which has slipped into the top 4 of the tournament and Pachuca, which returned to the path of victory.
The most attractive match we had this weekend was, without a doubt, Chivas vs. Pumas, at the Akron Stadium, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Guadalajara, sending Pumas to the second to last place in the table.
We continue to highlight the spectacular moment that América is experiencing, which, with its sixth consecutive game won, has managed to move into second place in the standings and is only 2 points behind Monterrey.
Cruz Azul managed to get out of their bad streak and achieved a great victory that brings them closer to the playoff places.

Finally, Jaziel Martínez put the scoreboard to bed at the 90+5th minute.

Tigres did not take the lead in the Liga MX standings because it decided to not do so. They had the opportunity to obtain three points, but they let them slip away with a 0-0 draw against Necaxa at home.
There is not much to highlight in this match; it was a very apathetic game on the part of both teams and the final score was 0-0.
Tigres began the match with a timid dominance and went on the attack in an attempt to open the scoreboard, but they were not convincing enough and were not lucky enough to go into the halftime break with a lead.
On the other hand, Necaxa had a practically invisible match, they had very few chances at the opponent’s goal and came away unscathed from their visit to Tigres because the locals missed their scoring opportunities.
After this result, Tigres dropped to fifth place in the general classification table, while Necaxa remains in the playoff positions for the next Liguilla.
Result: Tigres (0) – (0) Necaxa
