Atlante became the first finalist of the Apertura 2023 of the Liga Expansión MX. The Potros sealed the semifinals with 0-1 in the second leg against Leones Negros of the U. de G. at the Jalisco Stadium, to put the overall score at 1-4, after in the first leg they had taken the advantage to head to the duel for the championship, which they will play against the key winner between Cancún FC and Mineros de Zacatecas that will culminate this Sunday.
Atlante, who reached their fourth final, also became the team that has played in a series for the championship the most times within the new format of the silver division of Mexican soccer, as they surpassed Atlético Morelia, with which they were tied with three.

Already in the return, Atlante had a night without setbacks on the field of the Jalisco Stadium. Leones Negros showed little resistance and could not get closer on the scoreboard against Colts who sealed the key with a 0-1 to put the overall score at 1-4.
Atlante, as the top winner of the Expansion League, will seek its third championship to separate itself from its opponents who have won a title: Atlético Morelia, Tampico Madero, Tepatitlán and Tapatío.
Los Potros will have to wait until this Sunday to meet their rival in the Apertura 2023 final, which will be the winner between the key between Cancún FC and Mineros de Zacatecas.
Mineros de Zacatecas took advantage of the home status and came out with a 1-0 advantage in the first leg, but Cancún FC, as leader of the regular phase of Apertura 2023, has the advantage of closing the series at the Andrés Quintana Roo.
In the event that Mineros de Zacatecas wins its semifinal, the final of the Apertura 2023 of the Expansion League will close at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, but if Cancún FC advances, the champion will be defined at the Andrés Quintana Roo.
