Hablaliga MX: Mexico's Playoff Rivalry

Hi, I’m Giselle Cesin with The18, and this is HablaligaMX.

The Liga MX Clausura playoffs are now set, and the highlight of the quarterfinal round is definitely the "Clasico Capitalino" between Mexico City sides Club America and UNAM. As second-place finishers in the regular season, Las Aguilas will be the favorites against seventh-place Pumas, but the difference between the sides was only five points.

Hi, I'm Giselle Cesin with The18, and this is Hablaliga MX.

After a 1-1 draw in El Super Clasico on Saturday, Chivas can be happy they earned a point against the second-placed team in Liga MX, and also happy that they knocked hated rivals Club America firmly behind Santos Laguna in the table.

Santos took care of business against Necaxa with a 2-1 victory, while the draw means the still-undefeated Club America are playing catch-up.
