Overview
- Cruz Azul beat Chivas 2-1 in Guadalajara with long-range strikes from José Paradela and Carlos Rotondi after an early equalizer by Diego Campillo.
- Referee Víctor Alfonso Cáceres used video review twice to overturn key decisions, canceling a Gabriel Fernández goal and rescinding a penalty awarded to Bryan González.
- The victory marked Cruz Azul’s fifth straight win and kept the club unbeaten through seven rounds on 17 points, one behind Monterrey.
- América defeated Pachuca 2-0 with goals from Igor Lichnovsky and Allan Saint-Maximin in a match played behind closed doors after Benito Juárez authorities closed Estadio de la Ciudad de los Deportes.
- Chivas extended their league skid to four matches without a win, leaving coach Gabriel Milito under pressure as Javier “Chicharito” Hernández made his first appearance since April; elsewhere, Tigres edged Santos 1-0 through Ángel Correa and León routed Querétaro 3-0 with an Ismael Díaz brace and a Fernando Beltrán goal.
