As a result, he has a total of eight times in the history of the short tournaments that he fails to win at the start of a Liga MX contestbad news for the team led by Raúl ‘Potro’ Gutiérrez.

In this Closing, the cement team tied on the first date with Xolos de Tijuana 1-1, then fell 3-2 against Rayados de Monterrey. To end, they fell again, although the second loss was against Necaxa last Saturday.
