Hi, I’m Giselle Cesin with The18 and this is your Liga MX Update.
After being dropped into last place by hated rivals Club America, Chivas Guadalajara bounced back with a 3-2 win over Veracruz.
The win bumped them up to15th, but Chivas are still one point above last place. They will face 10th-place Tijuana on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Club America suffered a setback in their bid to unseat Monterrey from the top spot in Liga MX, losing 1-0 to Necaxa. Monterrey, meanwhile, continued their winning ways, beating Pumas 1-0.
The playoff picture is still muddy, with Club America, Tigres, Morelia, Leon, Toluca, Necaxa and Cruz Azul all within five points of each other. It should begin to clear up later this month, though.
Tune in next week for more Mexico, and we’re sure the playoff picture will just become more confusing as the season progresses.
