Unbeaten Rayados continued to impress on matchday 12 of the Clausura 2024 with a 1-2 win over Atlas and now top the table with a three point lead over América on 25 points.

The Aguilas played out an uninspired 0-0 draw away to Chivas on Saturday as the side from Monterrey open a comfortable lead on their pursuers with just five games of the regular season but the Rayados have already begun to detach themselves from his main pursuers. At present: Toluca, Cruz Azul, Pachuca and Tigres are the other teams holding direct Liguilla positions.

At the foot of the table, Mazatlán, Tijuana, Puebla and FC Juárez (who have yet to record a win all season) look destined for a short campaign with their options of securing postseason action fading as the weeks go by.
