Liga MX continues to deliver a highly competitive tournament for its fans. Matchday 4 of the Clausura 2026 was filled with excitement and decisive moments.

Chivas reaffirmed their place at the top, while teams such as Cruz Azul and Pumas stayed close to the summit thanks to strong performances. Meanwhile, Toluca and Puebla picked up valuable points in tightly contested matches.

Matchday 4 was the highest-scoring round of the Clausura 2026 so far, with 24 goals scored across nine matches. The offensive surge was driven mainly by the seven-goal thriller between Ju\u00e1rez and Cruz Azul, as well as Pumas\u2019 emphatic win over Santos.

It is also worth highlighting that three matches ended with the winning team keeping a clean sheet, reflecting a balance between attacking play and defensive solidity throughout the round.

Another notable statistic from the round was the parity on display: four of the nine matches were decided by a single goal, underlining the overall balance of the competition.

Overall, the round served as a clear reflection of the competitiveness the Clausura has shown so far, with several clubs continuing to solidify their playing identity and title aspirations.

In the most thrilling match of the weekend, Cruz Azul defeated Ju\u00e1rez 3\u20134 away from home, suffering in the final minutes despite having taken a 1\u20134 lead.

The \u2018M\u00e1quina\u2019 set the tone from the opening minute, as the \u2018Bravos\u2019 began the match as if they were PSG, kicking long from kickoff toward the flank. From the ensuing throw-in came the visitors\u2019 opener, after a good run by Gabriel Fern\u00e1ndez, who laid it off to Agust\u00edn Palavecino, and he finished with a low, angled shot to make it 0\u20131.

The 0\u20132 came just minutes later, with Jos\u00e9 Paradela firing from distance after a poor giveaway by the hosts, showing that the former Necaxa partnership is already working perfectly within this team.

A superb team move featuring high-quality passing ended with Carlos Rotondi scoring the 0\u20133 in the 39th minute, but before halftime, Ju\u00e1rez pulled one back through a penalty converted by \u00d3scar Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n.

In the second half, the visitors from the capital struck again in the 51st minute with a great long-range effort from Carlos Rodr\u00edguez.

The \u2018Bravos\u2019 narrowed the gap in the 81st minute with an acrobatic finish by Guilherme Castilho off a corner kick, and in the very next play Fern\u00e1ndez was sent off for dissent.

That lifted the home side, who made it 3\u20134 in the 90+1 minute with a header from Estupi\u00f1\u00e1n after a save by Andr\u00e9s Gudi\u00f1o, but the hope ended there, as no epic comeback followed.

With this victory, Cruz Azul climbed to second place with nine points, while Ju\u00e1rez dropped to 12th with four. <\/strong>

The most talked-about match of the round in Mexico took place at Estadio Alfonso Lastras, where Chivas de Guadalajara defeated Atl\u00e9tico San Luis 2\u20133 in a match full of intensity and constant momentum swings. The visitors maintained their perfect start to the tournament with four wins in four matches, firmly establishing themselves as outright leaders with 12 points. <\/strong>

San Luis responded each time they fell behind, with Jo\u00e3o Pedro Galv\u00e3o finding the net to keep the contest alive. However, the efficiency of the \u2018Reba\u00f1o Sagrado\u2019 ultimately proved decisive.

Richard Ledezma opened the scoring in the 31st minute after a fine one-two with Roberto Alvarado, but Jo\u00e3o Pedro equalized five minutes later from the penalty spot.

Before halftime, Daniel Aguirre put Chivas back in front following a double header inside the box after a corner kick.

In the final play of the first half, San Luis had a goal ruled out for a razor-thin offside, but in the opening play of the second half, the tournament\u2019s top scorer, the Italo-Brazilian forward, scored his fourth goal with a first-time finish after a cross from Robson Bambu.

The joy was short-lived, as Armando Gonz\u00e1lez headed home in the 49th minute to restore Chivas\u2019 lead. Guadalajara then held on to secure the win and keep their perfect run intact. Atl\u00e9tico San Luis, meanwhile, sits 11th with four points. <\/strong>

Result: Atl\u00e9tico San Luis 2\u20133 Chivas <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liga MX Clausura Matchday 4: Am\u00e9rica vs. Necaxa <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Am\u00e9rica -169<\/em><\/strong><\/td> <\/strong>Necaxa +499<\/em><\/td> Draw Offs:<\/strong>+310<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After three matchdays without a win or a goal, Club Am\u00e9rica finally secured its first victory of the Clausura 2026, defeating Necaxa 2\u20130.

It had been a difficult moment for the \u2018\u00c1guilas\u2019. In addition to failing to win in three rounds, Allan Saint-Maximin left the club due to racist attacks against his children, and \u00c1lvaro Fidalgo was sold to Real Betis. Despite all of that, Am\u00e9rica managed to push through and claim all three points.

Saturday\u2019s match was heavily influenced by the sending-off of Kevin Guti\u00e9rrez at the end of the first half, which allowed Am\u00e9rica to control the game, as they were already leading 2\u20130.

The hosts were far superior to their opponents, but all they needed was a three-minute burst to score. First, Brian Rodr\u00edguez struck in the 36th minute with a stunning long-range effort, which was the team\u2019s first goal of the tournament. Then V\u00edctor D\u00e1vila finished off a pass from Rodr\u00edguez inside the box, placing his shot into the corner.

The win not only restores confidence within the squad but also allows Am\u00e9rica to climb the standings, as they now sit ninth with five points. Meanwhile, Necaxa is 15th with three. <\/strong>

Result: Am\u00e9rica 2\u20130 Necaxa <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
