With América drawing Atlas 0-0, only Rayadas are still perfect after seven. The gulf between the top four (Rayadas, América, Tigres, and Chivas) and number five Atlas is rather large, with Atlas five points behind América, Tigres, and Chivas and seven behind Monterrey. Atlas’ goal differential (a respectable +7) also trails Tigres and Chivas by 10 and Rayadas by 13. Atlas is still a team to be feared, but the top four have just been on another level to start the Apertura.
