Every so often, Liga MX will seemingly go out of its way to live up to its reputation as a wild league where anything is possible. Tijuana’s 1-0 win over Atlas was such an occasion, albeit perhaps not in the most elegant or entertaining sense.
It has been very rainy in Guadalajara lately, and as a result the field conditions at Estadio Jalisco were bad, with parts of the pitch pockmarked and muddy. Players slipped and fell, and some wound up with mud in their eyes as part of the match. Paradero Boys, who cover Atlas in English from Guadalajara, tweeted that not only had it been raining for a week straight but the U20s played a game immediately before the match.
