It was their second draw in eight matches, alongside three wins and three defeats, which leaves them 11th with 11 points in the standings. With seven matches to spare in the Torneo Apertura, Necaxa could aim for the ultimate – the top spot.
Los Rayos have not won the top flight since 1998. Last season, they finished ninth in the regular season but couldn’t reach the final phase as they were knocked out in the play-in round. Necaxa were held to a goalless draw at home by America when the sides last met. The hosts have suffered only one defeat in their last five matches at home.
Club America are the defending champions, having won their 15th top-flight title last season.

Time is running out for the visitors, as they trail the top spot by seven points.
Águilas have no room for excuses going forward. They must win their remaining matches to stand a chance of defending their title successfully. Club America have also been performing badly on the road, recording four losses in their last five trips. They would need to break this trend to revive their campaign.
