The Guadalajara rivals meeting in the first round of the playoffs should add extra excitement to the postseason, writes Jon Arnold.
The bottom two clubs in Mexico got parting shots in this weekend and may have done Liga MX fans a favor in doing so.
Leon exercised quality control, thumping sliding Tijuana by a 6-2 scoreline. Morelia's victory may have been even more surprising, getting three points for just the third time in the Clausura with a 3-2 win over Chivas.
What Morelia gifted us is a first round Liguilla matchup between Chivas and their Guadalajara rival Atlas. Atlas itself tasted defeat in the final round, with Club America surpassing it in the table thanks to Dario Benedetto and Paul Aguilar scoring in a 2-1 win for las Aguilas.
