Week 12 brings us a match on Sep 3rd, where Necaxa and León will play a match in Aguascalientes in a clash of these two closely matched Liga MX teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Necaxa sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Tigres UANL. Neither Tigres UANL nor Necaxa could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 17 and 9 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Necaxa is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while león is fresh off their 4-2 win against Atlas. Paul Bellón Saracho struck first for León in the 40th minute on a feed from Lucas Di Yorio, but Julio Furch got the equalizer for Atlas in the 4th minute of the first half’s stoppage time , but luckily for León it didn’t end there. They were able to keep scoring to earn the win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
