With just two weeks left, the playoff picture is coming into sharper focus. América joined Chivas, Rayadas, and Tigres in clinching a spot in the Liguilla. A lot of teams this week will be rooting for León. Tijuana can clinch with a win or a loss by Pumas against La Fiera, while Pachuca and Toluca can clinch with a win and a loss by Pumas.
At the other end of the table, Necaxa and Mazatlán became the first teams to be mathematically eliminated from the Liguilla. Puebla, Querétaro, and Santos all have to win and have Cruz Azul lose and Pumas lose or draw in order to stay alive, and a win by Cruz Azul and a loss by San Luis would eliminate them as well.
Game of the Week
América 2, Pachuca 1
I had a hunch this one would be the best of the week, and it did not disappoint. América got early goals from Aurelie Kaci and Alison González and looked comfortable, but Scarlett Camberos picked up two yellow cards in the span of 13 minutes to leave América down a player in the 36th minute. Pachuca took over, and got a golazo from Marta Cox in the 79th to cut the deficit to one, but Itzel González put on a show, giving her team three critical points heading into a match against their biggest rivals.

Game of Next Week
Naturally, the Clásico Regio and the Cláscio Nacional are both on the same week making my job incredibly difficult, and that’s before getting into the debate to which rivalry is the Clásico Nacional Femenil. While I’m not going to weigh in on the latter, my Game of the Week is Tigres vs. Monterrey.
Both of these teams are on absolute fire, with just three draws and three losses between them. Rayadas are one point up on their rivals, and both have players vying for the Golden Boot, with Tigres’ Mia Fishel sitting with 14 goals and Rayadas’ Christina Burkenroad one behind her, and both Tigres’ Stephany Mayor and Rayadas’ Aylin Aviléz each have nine so far on the season.
The good news for fans is that you don’t have to choose between Tigres vs. Rayadas and Chivas vs. América, since they’re on different days and both will be available to watch (legally) in the United States.
