Mazatlan will invite Club America to the Estadio de Mazatlan in Liga MX on Friday. The hosts have won just two of their 14 league games thus far and need to win their remaining three games to keep their play-in round hopes alive. The visitors need just one win to ensure a place in the Liguilla quarterfinals.
Cañoneros are winless in their last two games and were held to a 2-2 draw by Santos Laguna on Tuesday. Late drama ensued as Laguna overturned a one-goal deficit in the second half, and Facundo Almada scored a stoppage-time equalizer for the hosts.
The capital club met Puebla in their previous outing and registered a home win. All goals were scored in the second half, with Emiliano Gómez putting Puebla ahead in the 52nd minute. Brian Rodríguez equalized from the penalty spot in the 67th minute, and Ramón Juárez scored the decisive goal in stoppage time.
