The Liga MX Clausura Tournament is about to end and the Liguilla is almost defined. América assumed the lead and several teams are still in the fight for the play-in.
With two days left, five teams are registered in the next phase: América, Toluca, Cruz Azul, Rayados de Monterrey and Necaxa.
For their part, Santos Laguna, Mazatlán FC, FC Juárez, Atlético de San Luis, Atlas, TIjuana and Puebla are already eliminated without qualifying opportunities.
Pachuca, Tigres, Chivas, Pumas, Querétaro and León They are in the fight for five spots, so one will be eliminated without a chance to go to the Play-In.

What would be the Play-In matchups?
The first duel would be Tigres, current runners-up in Liga MX, against Fernando Gago’s Chivas de Guadalajara.

América in first place would face the first classified of the Play In. For their part, the Red Devils of Toluca will face the second place team.
Rayados de Monterrey will play against Pachuca de Salomón Rondón, two teams that are still alive in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
