This weekend was quite interesting, especially for those who were expecting the top teams to continue their role at the top of the Liga MX regular season, as we got some shake-ups and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of the top 6 teams on the scoreboard, only two of them managed to get a victory this weekend, and it was enough to switch spots around at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am\u00e9rica managed to become the sole leader on the scoreboard, and Tigres continued their positive run, so now they are one point behind as the 2nd place, taking over a few spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s break down what took place in some of the matches we had these last few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first for FC Ju\u00e1rez ended in a goal when a free kick taken by Christian Oliva, Jos\u00e9 Garc\u00eda headed, there was a rebound, and it was left to Andrija Vukcevic, who did not miss and at 18′ and made it 1-0 for the visit. Diego Mej\u00eda’s men still had the second when Oliva put it on the crossbar at 21′, so that the Xolos were saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting the complementary part, Lucas Cavallini hit a pass from Mart\u00ednez and flew it just in the 49th minute. Then came the mistakes of the visit that opened the way for the Xolos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avil\u00e9s Hurtado made a mistake at the start, Mart\u00ednez took it and hit it in the 53rd minute and scored between the hands of Talavera to make it 2-1 for the home team. They were barely settling in, and Gonz\u00e1lez made it 3-1 at 55′, with a long-range shot that Tala couldn’t reach, and the Xolos felt better and better on the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cavallini made it 4-1 at 59′, receiving an assist with a header from Charly Gonz\u00e1lez, and unleashed an impossible line for Talavera. It seemed that the danger remained there, but no, since Fernando Madrigal hit him with a volley and scored a great goal in the 66th minute, to make it 5-1; The play was reviewed in the VAR for a possible offside, but there was nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At 77′, Gonz\u00e1lez left the Xolos with 10 men due to an expulsion via VAR, but the advantage was impossible to overcome. What’s more, the ‘Bravos’ didn’t even come close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Friday, September 29 at 11:00 p.m. ET in the Estadio Alfonso Lastras Ram\u00edrez<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Atl\u00e9tico San Luis -105 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cruz Azul +285<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Draw Offs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n +245<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Where Can I Watch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n TUDN USA<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cruz Azul recovered its memory. After several turbulent days full of controversy, they finally won again and left the last place in the standings. La Maquina won (1-2) against Atl\u00e9tico de San Luis, leader of the competition, at the Alfonso Lastras Stadium to put an end to a dark week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With scores from Carlos Rotondi (51′) and a penalty from Uriel Antuna (89′), the Celestials achieved their second victory of the tournament against a great team from Potos\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goalkeeper Andr\u00e9s Gudi\u00f1o and the entire light blue defense showed another side in the first half and managed to defend well so that the Argentine Rotondi opened the scoring with a header. The capital’s team gave up the attack, and the San Luis one took the initiative and in the 70th minute found reward with a superb goal from Dieter Villalpando. A shot outside the area made Alfonso Lastras explode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it seemed that La Maquina would not add three, the whistler Adonai Escobedo reviewed a handball in the VAR and declared a penalty that Uriel Antuna ultimately validated. Important victory for a light blue team that was finally able to breathe, add three, and put out the fire of a week that seemed to have no end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saturday, September 30 at 8:45 p.m. ET in the Estadio Azteca<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moneyline odds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Am\u00e9rica -161 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n–<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
