Club America ease past Xolos de Tijuana, Veracruz fall to Santos

After brief stop for the international break, the Liga MX returned on Friday. Veracruz suffered a 3-0 defeat to Santos Laguna and Club America eased their way past Xolos de Tijuana.

Here are some quick takeaways from Friday's games.

With five games to go in the season, Veracru'z threat of missing out on the Liguilla is very much a reality.

It wasn't long ago that Veracruz looked unbeatable at the Estadio Luis "Pirata" Fuente, but Djaniny netted twice as Santos Laguna inflicted Carlos Reinoso's side their second straight home defeat.
