So much to talk about.
Two really big games this weekend.
Tigres versus Toluca.
Brunetta scoring twice, including the opener at the sixth minute.
This is an incredible game.
And Tigres beating the leaders after
not having a really good season so far.
We've been critiquing them so far, the entire league.
And finally, they were able to get some momentum.
América versus Monterrey.
Another really good match.
Ended in 1-1.
Rossi, who is obviously one of our favorite players coming
from LFC and ex-LFC player,
scored um the opening goal um bueno equalizing it
and Borja was sent off in the 87th minute this was
just a lot of drama a lot of emotions coming
into this weekend a lot of big games uh another game
that was everybody was talking about Guadalajara versus Atlas
in Clásico Tapatío that uh it
seemed that it was going one way for Atlas
and then Chivas was able to recover the game towards
the end to get it to 86th minute 86th minute it
was critical for Atlas to win this game to
really solidify themselves within a play of contention
and for Chivas to to you know get
this point out of the pocket of Atlas keeps them right there
at the top of the table you want to
go take a look at the table let's do it absolutely
so far i'll get while we're pulling it up i'll get
my takes i think for me the team that i'm most excited
for i gotta talk about because i'm so
excited tigres right let's take a look
at them i know they're going to be towards the bottom with
three wins but coming up coming up
with 13 points two points away from playing contention there's
a possibility for them i think they have
a run absolutely to make the top eight so we'll see
that's all i wanted to say real quick now pumas 12
plays 13 points one game away from being inside
de La Liguilla, it can happen.
Vamos a ver qué pasa.
But we have Monterrey with one game in hand.
Cholos, that.
Feliz cumpleaños.
Feliz cumpleaños a Gilberto Mora.
Finally, 18 years old.
And now, ahora sí que se cuiden porque las ofertas,
they are able to come for this player.
Cruz Azul, the champion, falling to seventh place.
Atlas dropping a little bit, losing that momentum
that they had, but still solidly in the player contention.
and then we have Querétaro that for me
is the biggest surprise of the season happy to see
Los Gallos Blancos at the top of the standings in third place
and Toluca and América we for the last
two years these two teams are the standard
for Liga MX yeah let me give my take on Toluca and
América for me okay past five games América hasn't
been winning convincingly right they
had a draw in their 110th anniversary game
that red card definitely hurt and for me Toluca's
defense is definitely a massive concern
with 15 goals conceded i think this is going to be
a massive problem going into the playoffs it's it's
this is this is the type of insight that
changes the way of the playoffs
when you understand the weakness of these top teams
you might have a chance now let's go
to the other side let's go all the way to the bottom because
juarez was not able to turn around
the season we're getting to the end four points and 18
negative 18 on the
differential, Camila. Disastrous season
for Juárez and our Latin Nation team.
Definitivamente no vamos a ver
Liguilla. Probablemente Tigres might have
to do a miracle, a miracle
to make it. De todos modos, los apoyamos.
De todos modos, estamos con nuestros equipos
Latin Nation. It doesn't matter.
