It was the best and craziest of the Liguilla as Pachuca made a statement with a 5-2 win over Monterrey in the 1st leg of their Semifinal matchup. Monterrey complicated themselves greatly in a match where they went down to 10 players and missed a PK that would have tied the match late. Now they need to win by 3 goals at home on Sunday against an inspired Pachuca to make another final, a very tough hurdle. Pachuca is now in prime position to make their second consecutive final appearance after losing the last one in the Clausura 2022 against Atlas.
