Club América fell at home on Saturday to third place Pachuca and the surprise 0-3 home loss saw ‘Las Aguilas’ give up their status as only undefeated side in the current campaign.
Tigres remain in second place with in-form Chivas currently holding the final place that would secure an automatic place in the post-season playoffs.
Teams who end the season from fifth-twelfth place enter a wild card round before the quarter-final of play-off takes places to resolve which four additional sides will join the top four.
