00:07in Ciudad de los Deportes. America delivered a statement win defeating Santos 3-0. Rodrigo Aguirre

00:15opened the scoring. Brian Rodriguez doubled the lead and Alan Cervantes sealed it with a rocket

00:21from distance. America showed why they are one of the favorites for the title.

00:26Over in León, Toluca spoiled the party beating León 4-2. It was an open game in the first half,

00:34but Toluca turned it on the style of the break, punishing every defense mistake and walking away

00:41with all three points. Now Chivas went to Ciudad Universitaria and stunned you Pumitas with a 2-1

00:48victory. Chivas looked sharp and resilient showing they can grind out tough results away from home.

00:55That win is the third consecutive match for El Rebaño and it takes them to the top. Pachuca took

01:01care of business against Necaxa winning 1-0 and a disciplined performance securing the points with

01:08the clean sheet. Meanwhile, in Monterrey, Tigres and Cruz Azul share the spot in a 1-1 draw. Tigres

01:17controlled the large part of the match but couldn't find the finish. While Cruz Azul did just enough to

01:24hang on and come out with the one point. And finally, Atlas came from behind to beat Juarez 3-1.

01:32Juarez started strong with the early goal but Atlas roared back scoring three unanswered goals showing

01:39plenty of fight in front of their fans. So what does this mean for the table? America stays firmly in the

01:46title race. Toluca and Tigres continue to show their power and Chivas inject new life into their campaign

01:53with the key win over Pumas. Atlas are rising while Juarez will have to regroup quickly to stay competitive.

02:00That is your Liga MLS recap. Drama, goals and plenty of storylines just the way we like it.

02:08Desde aquí, desde the Latin Nation Football Club. Mi nombre es Julio Ramos y desde aquí desde

02:12Zacatepec, Morelos y el icónico Coruco Díaz. Lo regreso con ustedes del estudio.

02:17Gracias, Chivas. Great report. As always, we miss you. Hope to have you back here in the Latin

02:22Nation Football Club headquarters soon. But let's break it down. I'm here with Alex Crespo, Camila

02:28Ortiz. We're going to talk about the power rankings, what is happening. La Liguilla está aquí a ladito,

02:33muchachos. And who is going to win? Who is going to win Apertura 2025, Camila?

02:39I mean, for me, it has to be Toluca. I mean, not only are they on a seven-game winning streak,

02:45which I think speaks for itself. But again, we saw a dominating performance winning 4-2 against

02:50León this weekend, which was just, I mean, it looks like they're on a roll. I think it's going

02:54to be hard to put a stop to them. Alexis Vega is probably putting the best season of his career,

02:59making a name for himself right there at the top of the list of the World Cup roster. Alex,

03:06who is your favorite team to win La Liguilla? I think I have to go with Tigres. I'm wearing the colors.

03:12I mean, it's all, you know, set in stone because you know who scored and who assisted in this game?

03:17Can you guess? Bruneta getting assisted by Angel Correa. I mean, this is another game with another

03:27Argentinian goal and assist. Nothing new. But, you know, they obviously had a last minute penalty

03:33upset in this game against Cruz Azul. Very upset. Was it a penalty? What is the opinion in the room?

03:42Something that Los Mexicanos love to say is era penal. But you know what? We'll move past that.

03:47I think, you know, we'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It was a penal. He did hit him in the

03:52back of the leg, so we'll give it to them. But, you know, this is very upsetting for Cruz Azul fans

03:57as well because they were second, first place, and then they're dropping down to fourth and fifth place

04:03with Tigres. And now I think that they have what it takes to keep this flow going in these last few matches.
