25
Goals conceded by Cruz Azul. After getting humiliated by crosstown rivals América by a 7-0 score-line on Saturday (the worst loss in franchise history), the Cementeros are giving up 2.5 goals per game, the worst defense in Liga MX by far (León is next with 19 goals allowed).
20
Goals scored by Monterrey and América this season to lead all Liga MX teams. The Aguilas have a game in hand so they have a better scoring average (2.22 goals per game compared to 2.0 for the Rayados).
17
Goals conceded by the Pumas in their past four games. The ignominious stretch began in Barcelona (6-0), followed by a 3-0 home loss to América, a 3-2 loss at Atlético de San Luis and Sunday’s 5-1 thumping by visiting Santos Laguna. UNAM is now considering a coaching change.
13
Goals in a row scored by América. “Los AzulCremas” have dominated their past three Liga MX games, winning 3-0 at UNAM on Matchday 8, 3-0 at Pachuca on Matchday 9 and 7-0 at home on Saturday night.
11
Points compiled by FC Juárez through 10 games and sit in 11th place. The Bravos had 11 points total at the completion of the Clausura 2022, finishing at the bottom of the Liga MX table.
6
Goals scored by Henry Martín. The América striker now leads the Golden Boot race with all six of his goals coming in the Aguilas’ last five matches.
4
Losses in a row for León. “La Fiera” lost 5-1 at Monterrey on Matchday 7, 3-0 at home to Mazatlán on Matchday 8, 2-1 at Santos last week and 1-0 at Pachuca on Sunday. The Esmeraldas had not lost four straight games since the Verano 2002 season when they were beaten on Matchdays 8-11 (Morelia 2-0, América 1-0, Pachuca 2-1, and Tigres 3-2).
