In a lopsided finals rematch, rampant Tigres easily defeat Chivas

 In a lopsided finals rematch, rampant Tigres easily defeat Chivas.



Without their top scorer, the Flying Frenchman, the reigning champions headed to Guadalajara for a repeat in the Finals. Having witnessed Tigres celebrate their eighth Liga MX triumph on their home field, the Chivas were hoping for some retribution.

Regretfully for Guadalajara, Nicolás Ibáñez, the former Liga MX scoring champion, is Gignac's backup. Nico not only scored a brace in the first half but also provided an assist for his team's fourth goal.

Guadalajara appeared defenseless against Tigres to the booing, chanting, and cursing of Chivas fans, and Saturday's 4-0 loss may have a worse outcome than the heartbreaking overtime loss precisely five months prior.

Ibáñez made two excellent saves from Luis Quiñones, the first coming as they combined to make Chivas make a mistake in the back. In the 53rd minute, Nico scored his second goal and ended his career with an impeccable assist on Marcelo Flores' first Liga MX goal.Although the Chivas are in sixth place despite the 4-0 loss, which is their second such negative scoreline this season, their recent performance (along with the unrest in the locker room) does not give them hope for a lengthy postseason run.

The Chivas (21 points) need to find a way to turn things around in order to maintain their Top 6 ranking and the ensuing first-round playoff bye. They have three games left.

With the victory, the Northerners (28 points) guaranteed themselves a spot in the postseason and, should Sunday's results go their way, a Top 6 seed.

Leading leagues destroy Rayados

The Rayados' three-game winning streak that had propelled them into third place was decisively ended as a furious América trampled over Monterrey.

After Rayados midfielder Maxi Meza was sent off for an inadvertent stamp on América defender Sebastián Cáceres, Jonathan "Cabecita" Rodríguez scored twice in the opening twenty-one minutes of play. The second goal came just three minutes later.

With 13 straight games without a loss, Andre Jardine's team can only finish as high as fourth place. This game was gone early, and the Aguilas (33 points) secured a first-round playoff bye.

In place of the injured Diego Valdés, Álvaro Fidalgo assumed the position of the playmaker. After providing Henry Martín with a superbly timed through pass just 60 seconds into the game, the Spaniard opened up the Monterrey defense. Twenty minutes later, he contributed a beautiful assist on Cabecita's second goal.Martín provided the assists for América's first and third goals, both of which were skillful feeds.
The short-handed Rayados had fits from the Aguilas offense, which posed a persistent threat.With one game remaining, Monterrey (23 points) will be hopeful that key players, especially Sergio Canales, who is currently out with an injury, can recover in time for the postseason. Monterrey holds a tight hold on third place.
