Liga MX’s teams didn’t have the best of starts to the 2023 Leagues Cup but now it appears that Mexico’s representatives have started to balance the results a bit. León, Rayados and Tigres fulfilled their expectations and won their respective games against MLS opposition.
La Pandilla defeated Real Salt Lake 3-0, La Fiera beat the Los Angeles Galaxy by the minimum, and Tigres did the same with the Portland Timbers, edging their game 2-1. Before those results, Atlético San Luis and Querétaro both suffered defeats to the New England Revolution and Philadelphia Union respectively - both losing 5-1.
Liga MX greats take center stage
Chivas Guadalajara will face off against Cincinnati in a clash that looks set to be an interesting one considering both teams’ domestic form. Elsewhere, América take on St Louis City, who have enjoyed a very good debut campaign in the MLS.
In addition to the aforementioned Mexican teams, Mazatlán also gave a good account Mexican football. The team from Simnaloa defeated Austin FC with authority and drew 1-1 with Los Bravos Juárez, so already have their ticket secured to the next round.
