Fernando Aristeguieta is tied with two goals with Maximiliano Araujo and Guillermo Martínez as the top scorers of La Franja, the Venezuelan will have the opportunity to stand out in this competition for the Camoteros' top scorer.

Santiago Giménez has rediscovered the goal and the fans and everything indicates that he is one of the important men for Juan Reynoso.

The team coached by Juan Reynoso has shown an improvement in its soccer in the last few days; however, this good performance was marred by the defeat suffered at the hands of Santos in matchday 7. Fortunately for the Peruvian coach, in the midweek match the team managed to recover from a 2-nil deficit to rescue a 2-2 draw against Miguel Herrera's Tigres. La Máquina arrives in fourth place hoping to move up to third place according to a series of possible combinations, the light blue team has 14 points with four wins, two draws and two defeats.
