Club América is in a sweet moment of the season, as it seems invincible and this weekend achieved a new victory, beating a weak rival like Mazatlán.

Monterrey also regained its smile, beating Juárez at home, a team that has been sinking in bad results for several dates.
Finally, Tijuana took advantage of Atlético San Luis’s irregular level and won at home, winning three of their last five matches.
