Liga MX Apertura Quarterfinals: Surprises and goals highlight start of the Liguilla

Here are some of the main takeaways from the Quarterfinals of the 2019 Liga MX Apertura, as Necaxa/Monterrey and Club América/Monarcas Morelia are set to clash in the Semifinals.

León end the year in heartbreaking fashion

Club León earned 74 points through the course of the calendar year and finished 2019 with no trophy to show for it. On Saturday, Ignacio Ambriz’s men were knocked out in the Quarterfinals by a surprising Monarcas Morelia team in another disappointing end to La Fiera’s campaign.

You can’t help but feel sorry for León. Last season they broke all sorts of Liga MX records before eventually succumbing to a defensive Tigres team.
