Club Tijuana’s Ariel Nahuelpán was named Liga Bancomer MX Player of the Week for Jornada 17 by a poll of Liga MX English-language writers and broadcasters.
In the last weekend of the Liga MX regular season, only one game mattered as far as the liguilla was concerned. Xolos, who were one point ahead of La Franja on the table, needed only a tie to reserve their seat in the playoffs. Puebla, however, needed a victory away from home.
It all came down to these 90 minutes, and in the end, it was Tijuana who stood tall with the help of its 6’3” striker.
