Monterrey took the lead but couldn’t hold it as Necaxa scored in stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw in this rescheduled Jornada 1 match. The result keeps the Rayos unbeaten this season, while the reigning champion Rayados remain winless.
While Monterrey were looking for their first win of the season to move out of last place in the table, Necaxa had the chance to move into first with a victory of their own. The game started at a good pace and it didn’t take long for the breakthrough, with Monterrey scoring in the 14th minute. Rogelio Funes Mori cut past Rodrigo Noya, drew out the keeper, and cut the ball back for Miguel Layún, whose first-time finish made it 0-1.
In this rescheduled Jornada 1 match, América earned a 0-1 away win against Puebla. The result ends a two-game winless streak for the Águilas, while the Poblanos have now lost three in a row.
The hosts started the game off better, but they were unable to capitalize on their advantage while they had it, with Memo Ochoa making several good saves to keep América from falling behind. Then VAR review saw Puebla come off worse for wear twice; first, when Jesús Zavala’s would-be goal was determined to have been stopped by Ochoa on the line, and then when a penalty call was changed to a free kick just outside the box.
The Disciplinary Committee has suspended three players in the aftermath of this weekend’s Jornada 4 games.
Jorge Sánchez of América and Aldo Cruz of Tijuana were given one-game suspensions for serious foul play.
Pedro Aquino of León was given a one-game suspension for receiving two yellow cards in the same match.
Jornada 1 of the Clausura 2020 season featured an abbreviated slate of matches, with the season openers for the Apertura 2019 finalists – Monterrey and América – postponed.
That decision was made to allow the finalists a bit of rest before the new season, since – due to Monterrey’s participation in the FIFA Club World Cup – the second leg of the final was played just two weeks before the start of the Clausura.
That little bit of extra rest hasn’t seemed particularly helpful so far; with three games under their respective belts, Monterrey is winless and has earned just a single point, while América has a 1-1-1 record.
León moved into first place with their 1-2 win against Monarcas Morelia, which dropped the michoacanos into last place.
Pumas UNAM, Necaxa, Chivas de Guadalajara, and Atlético San Luis all remain unbeaten, while on the other side of things, Morelia and Monterrey remain winless.
In the Tabla de Cociente, Atlas remained in last despite their win.
