GAME ON! The ball is rolling at the Encanto Stadium, Mazatlan FC faces Tijuana in the 13th round of Liga MX.
FOR THE PLACE
Maxi Meza sees the clash between Monterrey and Chivas as an opportunity to earn a place in Rayados' starting lineup for the match against Inter Miami, which would give him the chance to face Argentine star Lionel Messi on the pitch. However, the Argentine midfielder emphasized that they must first concentrate on the Rebaño before thinking about the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals in Miami against Inter.
THE BOSS SPEAK
Amid the scarcity of opportunities for Mexican coaches in national soccer, Ignacio Ambriz, current Santos head coach, has shared his thoughts on the demands that go beyond tactical preparation in the world of soccer.
In an interview with mediotiempo, Ambriz emphasized that the work of a modern coach is not only limited to the field of play, but encompasses the management of a wide range of extra-sporting aspects. From handling the press to relations with managers, sponsors, players and fans, the coach must be able to manage multiple fronts to achieve success.
OUT OF THE MATCH AGAINTS RAYADOS
Bad news for Guadalajara has arisen hours before facing Monterrey in the return of Liga MX activity.
The absence of Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández, the Mexican striker and new signing of the Guadalajara team, who did not make the trip to face Rayados due to an apparent stomach infection, has been confirmed.
DEFENDEING THE RIVAL
On the Televisa program, where the experts discussed the current state of Mexican soccer, the analyst was forceful. The narrator, who is also an analyst, highlighted the firmness with which they stand by their decisions, considering it something worthy of praise.
"There is one thing in which MLS is better than the Mexican League and that is that it maintains its identity. It is a league that was born without promotion or relegation that plays on its calendar and has said 'I am going to be a place on the world map to attract talent', which, yes, is already in the twilight of its career, but it is growing more and more. The Mexican League has betrayed its identity, where there is no longer promotion or relegation, when that was not its way of being. When there are few players who can be trained in lower divisions or promotion leagues".
WHAT'S NEXT
The Mazatlan team will face teams that, like them, are not going through their best moment, which gives them the opportunity to dream of some victories that will bring them closer to Play-In positions. However, Mazatlan will close their regular phase in Hidalgo, where they will face Pachuca, a challenge that will not be easy to overcome.
Upcoming Liga MX games:
- Mazatlán vs. Tijuana, March 29.
- Mazatlán vs. Pumas, 5 April
- Querétaro vs. Mazatlán, 12 April
- Mazatlan vs. FC Juarez, 19 April
- Pachuca vs. Mazatlan, 27 April
NO PROMOTION
Cancun FC, Atlante, Celaya, Irapuato: these are all places that have invested a great deal of money to have a presence in Liga MX, the top tier of Mexican soccer. However, it seems that the promotion and relegation door will remain locked until 2025.
This decision stands despite the changes proposed at the Mexican Soccer Federation months ago, which promised to reform the Mexican soccer landscape. Meanwhile, in a context where MLS, Liga MX's main competition, is expanding its reach and will have 30 clubs in its league by next year.
THE STANDING
The Liga MX resumes its activity after the break for the FIFA Date, and Monterrey will seek to consolidate its position at the top of the general table in order to distance itself from its main pursuer, América. With 31 points at stake, Los Rayados are looking to extend their lead in the standings. However, they must be on their guard, as América (25 points) has the capacity to match them in the event of any slip-up on Monterrey's part.
Just behind them are teams such as Toluca (23), Cruz Azul (22), Pachuca (22) and Tigres (21), all of which have a chance of reaching second place if América fails on this or the following fixtures. In addition, the Play In places are occupied by Necaxa (21), Querétaro (17), León (17) and Chivas (16), all with good mathematical chances of advancing directly, but who cannot afford to slip up at any time.
ON THE TOP
According to information from CentreGoals, Liga MX is among the five soccer leagues with the highest television audience worldwide. Through its X account, CentreGoals revealed that Liga MX ranks fourth in television viewership, surpassing Serie A (Italy), which is in fifth place.
ABOUT THE WOMEN'S TEAM
Las Cañoneras are facing the final stages of the Clausura 2024 as visitors as they head to Guanajuato to take on Club León. Mazatlán FC Femenil have the task of earning their third win away from home and at least stay away from the bottom of the table.
The Emerald team is currently in the qualification zone in Liga MX Femenil, so they will be looking to move up even further to secure their spot and gain a better position for postseason play.
IMPORTANT THING
Ricardo Salinas Pliego has clearly expressed his position in the controversial confrontation between the band musicians and hoteliers in Mazatlan. Furthermore, to dispel any doubts, the businessman is planning a surprise at El Encanto Stadium.
"Tomorrow, at El Encanto Stadium, the sounds of the Sinaloan tambora will resound while my Mazatlan FC plays.... If you are on vacation, take advantage and attend, it will be an exciting event!", shared Ricardo Salinas Pliego on his X account.
Mazatlán FC will face Xolos de Tijuana this Friday, March 29 at 21:00 (Central Mexico time) as part of Day 13 of the Liga MX.

Background
Mazatlan FC and Tijuana have faced each other a total of 7 times (3 wins for the cañoneras, 2 draws, 2 wins for the border team) where the scales have tipped in favor of the Mazatlan team. In terms of goals, Mazatlán has a slight advantage over Tijuana, with 8 over 7 goals scored respectively. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 6 of the Apertura 2023 at the Estadio Caliente, in which both teams split points by a final score of 1-1. In the last match played in Mazatlán, it was Tijuana who won by a score of 2-1.
About The Stadium
El Encanto Stadium or also known as Kraken Stadium is one of the most modern venues in Mexican soccer, inaugurated in 2020 in a duel between Mazatlan and Puebla, corresponding to day 1 of the Guard1anes 2020 Tournament. It is located in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico and is the home of Mazatlán FC, a team that plays its Liga MX home matches there. It has the capacity to hold a total of 20,000 spectators in its seats.
Please win already!
The Xolos de Tijuana will once again face a duel as visitors after having received the team from the Comarca Lagunera in the 12th matchday at the Estadio Caliente in a duel where everything seemed to indicate that the local team would finally win the tournament, as at minute 71, Tijuana was leading 2-1. However, the King of Ties did not want to give up his nickname because in the 90th minute, Ronaldo Prieto appeared to score the final 2-2. Tijuana is currently in the sixteenth position with 8 draws and 4 losses for a total of 8 points.
They have to recover because they were beaten so badly
The Mazatlán team returns to El Encanto Stadium to face one more game in the Clausura 2024, however, this is the opportunity for the team from the Pearl of the Pacific to get three points, as in their last game played in the Liga MX, the team from the Pearl of the Pacific visited the University Stadium of the UANL Tigres and it was the same feline team that made life miserable for Mazatlán, defeating them by a score of 5-1. The felines' goals were scored by Marcelo Flores, Luis Quiñones, Nicolás Ibáñez and Samir. Luis Amarilla scored for Mazatlán. Mazatlán is currently in fifteenth place in the general table with a total of 9 points, the result of 2 wins, 3 ties and 7 defeats.
Halfway through the season
Liga MX continues to advance by leaps and bounds as the 2023/24 season comes to a close. In the blink of an eye, we have gone from Day 1 of the championship to being more than halfway through the season, with the end of the regular tournament already on the horizon, little by little, the teams are beginning to take their positions in what will be another exciting end to the tournament where the teams will be looking for a qualifying ticket to the Mexican football playoffs or to enter the play-offs, but leaving the elimination zone, which currently covers more territory, from 18th to 11th place, is reason to say goodbye to the Clausura 2024. With rounds still to play, the big question is: Who will be the new Mexican soccer champion at the end of the season?
Kick-off time
The Mazatlan vs Tijuana match will be played at Estadio El Encanto in Mazatlan City, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 pm ET.
