The Liga MX Opening Tournament 2022 is in its final stretch and, yesterday, all the matches corresponding to Matchday 13 were completed, leaving the two best teams in the league in recent months, Monterrey and América, as leaders of the tournament after obtaining victory in their compromises.
América has played one game less than Monterrey, so it is in their hands to stay in first place at the table.
Guadalajara, a team that has had a spectacular second half of the season and is now only 6 points behind third place in the table, must now be added to the fight for the first four places in the standings.
In the lower middle of the table, we will have many battles to get into the top 12 to secure a playoff spot, most of the teams have a chance to advance and this makes the games much more electrifying.
Por último, tenemos Querétaro, already resigned and thinking about the next tournament, and the surprises of Atlas y Cruz Azul, whose level of play continues to drop with each passing day, and it already seems impossible that they will be able to advance to the playoffs.

Cruz Azul came close to springing a surprise in Monterrey, but the visitors were unable to stop Rayados’ offense and at least let the tie slip away at the Estadio BBVA, meaning that they will remain in the basement of the general classification table and their chances of making the Playoffs are going away.
After an intense dominance at the start of the match, Monterrey was able to open the scoring in the 17th minute thanks to a goal by Jesús Gallardo. Eleven minutes later, after a shot from outside the area by Luis Romo that was deflected by Funes Mori, Monterrey managed to score the 2-0.
Cruz Azul woke up after the second blow and, two minutes later, they managed to score the 1-2 thanks to a very good goal by Carlos Rotondi. With this result, both teams went to the break.
The second half did not look good for Cruz Azul, pero el despertar de Uriel Antuna se hizo presente, quien igualó el partido 2-2 al minuto 49.
From that moment on, it was a different game, Cruz Azul could have been on top of Monterrey with Antuna as the top player, but in the 65th minute, Germán Berterame scored the definitive goal to give his team the victory.
Con este resultado, Monterrey remains at the top of the standings, while Cruz Azul continues to sink to the bottom of the overall standings.
Result: Monterrey (3) – (2) Cruz Azul

Tigres achieved their fifth victory at the Universitario Stadium, después de derrotar Toluca 3-1 in the match on the thirteenth date, keeping them in the fight for the top spots in the general classification of the Liga MX Apertura 2022 Tournament.
In a match in which Luis Quiñones was the star player on the field for Tigres, the home team started with the best possible level of play, persistently seeking to open the scoreboard.
Persistence allowed Tigres to take the lead at minute 40 with a goal by Sebastián Córdova, who took a free kick and sent the ball into the corner of the net to make the score 1-0.
A pesar de Toluca tried to pressure and hurt Tigres, they were unable to do so and, at minute 62, André-Pierre Gignac made it 2-0 for his team. Toluca, however, managed to respond immediately and, four minutes later, scored a goal via Jean Meneses.
The team coached by Miguel Herrera increased the difference to 3-1 at the 80-minute mark, thanks to a fabulous goal by Florian Thauvin.
Con este resultado, Tigres broke the string of six consecutive defeats and is once again in the fight for the direct playoff places, while Toluca is still winless and dropped to sixth place.
Result: Tigres UANL (3) – (1) Toluca

Como habíamos predicho en nuestro avance de este Liga MX jornada 13, Club América continúa imparable y logró una excelente victoria con un marcador de 3-0 para sumar su octava victoria consecutiva y consolidar su posición en lo más alto de la clasificación.
In the first minutes of the match, América suffered with a rival that came out to play a rustic and complicated game, but, in the end, they were widely superior and achieved a comfortable victory. Although nobody indeed remembers the complicated start that América had in the tournament, now Tano Ortiz’s pupils look invincible in the tournament, as great candidates for the title.
The first scoring chance was for Atlético San Luis, through Abel Hernández, but they were unable to score the goal and all their chances vanished, as Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez, at minute 45; Diego Valdés, at 54 and Henry Martín, at 56, scored the winning goals for América to settle the match in just 11 minutes.
Después de esta victoria, América remains at the top of the standings, equal with Monterrey, mientras Atlético San Luis is in danger of leaving the playoff positions.
