Miguel Angel Briseño wrote that Cruz Azul was the leader of the Apertura 2026. He noted that a victory against Chivas would secure first place for them, as would a draw if América did not win. He added that a draw would guarantee at least second place, and that a defeat in matchday 17 could leave the team in second or third, depending on América's result. #CruzAzul #Apertura2026 #LigaMX (translated)
