After a month of waiting for the Leagues Cup, a competition that pitted American Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs against Liga MX teams, Mexican soccer returned to activity in the Apertura 2023 tournament with Matchday 4 and with Chivas staying at the top of the contest.

Guadalajara clung to the lead with a 1-1 draw at home to FC Juárez, and although they missed the perfect step, they reached 10 points to take the lead alone. His escort is precisely the Braves, who have surprised at the start of the contest, because like the Flock they do not know defeat in four dates.

After these come the teams from Monterrey, with Tigres in third place after beating Necaxa 3-0 at home, bringing it to eight points, one more than its greatest rival in the league, Rayados de Monterrey, a team that did not participate this day to play the duel for third place in the Leagues Cup, where they were thrashed by the Philadelphia Union.

And the other big ones?

Pumas drew a draw at home against Toluca to be in seventh place with six points, while Cruz Azul extended their bad moment, because although they did not lose, they could not leave the bottom of the table either by drawing 2-2 with Santos Laguna in the Azteca, now without Ricardo ‘Tuca’ Ferretti as coach, a responsibility that now falls to Joaquín Moreno.
