ATLAS IS SAVED! Xolos had their first dangerous chance with a cross into the box that looked for López, but the striker sent the ball wide of the goal.
Aldo Rocha celebrates his 50th game in the Atlas jersey today and is the current captain of the Rojinegros. Since his debut, he has only missed 20 minutes of play. He has already scored 5 goals for the Rojinegros.
Xolos and Atlas have met 21 times in Liga MX. Tijuana has won two more matches than the Zorros. In the most recent match, La Jauría defeated La Academia at the Jalisco Stadium, 2-0.
Lisandro López has two goals in the current season and is Xolos' most dangerous player with his good header, so Atlas will have to cover the player well.
Julio Furch is the player that Xolos must pay special attention to, with his good unmarking and ball handling he will be looking to score in the local goal.

On the other hand, the previous Sunday, they also failed to make their home advantage count at the Jalisco Stadium, as they drew 0-0 against Pumas of the UNAM in an even match.
Last week, at the Mictlán, they did not make the most of their home advantage, as they were unable to manage the lead, they had with Facundo Ferreyra's goal, and ended up drawing 1-1 against Rayos del Necaxa.
Meanwhile, the team coached by the Argentine Diego Cocca is, so far, defending its title in a good way, and proof of this is that it is one of the teams that has not lost a game. They are currently in fifth place with 12 points, after accumulating three wins and three draws; they have scored seven goals and conceded three, making them the best defense, together with Puebla.
The team coached by the Argentine Sebastián Méndez has not had the desired participation, as it seems that it will be one of the three institutions that will pay the fine for not being relegated. In the general table, they are in sixteenth place with 5 points, the result of one win, two ties and three defeats; they have scored four goals for and nine against.
This Friday night, in the state of Baja California, the Xolos will face Atlas, current Liga MX champion. After practically a third of the campaign has been played, these teams have had uneven results, since while the locals are at the bottom of the table, the visitors are at the top of the standings.
