In the subsequent round, they achieved a victory (0-1) visiting Tigres UANL.

In twenty matches in the competition, they have never managed to come back after falling behind in the five matches where they conceded the first goal.

Maintaining their unbeaten record is a clear objective at this stage of the tournament. The home advantage heightens the responsibility for a strong performance. A victory could solidify their position among the championship’s contenders.
