Thanks to Cruz Azul botching their 1-0 advantage in the final five minutes of their match vs. Pumas by allowing Dinneno to get on the scoresheet twice on Saturday night, had either Rayados or Tigres found a way to take the three points from their match, they would’ve clinched the fourth and final first-round bye spot. Instead, Rayados falling to Chivas, along with Tigres allowing a last-minute goal to Atlas defender Germán Conti to level the score at 1 a piece, granted Cruz Azul the opportunity to remain with that 4th spot.
In the 5:00 slot, Rayados visited Chivas, in what meant a chance for Chivas to play the wild-card round with home-field advantage.
