The 2021 Apertura Liguilla finally got underway, and it didn’t disappoint. Fans in both Mexico and the United States were able to watch most games legally, and there was only one full game overlap with another partial, meaning fans could watch almost every minute of every game without having to result to split-screens. The matches themselves were for the most part competitive and entertaining, with only the series between Tigres and Cruz Azul being a blowout.
Atlas downs Santos: A good series between two good teams. The first match was an absolute classic, with the teams battling to a 2-2 draw in Torreón in the first ever Liguilla appearance for Santos.
