The Liga MX is fast running out of representatives in the Leagues Cup. On Tuesday, Toluca and América bowed out of the competition within minutes of each other – both crashing out on penalties. Los Diablos managed to turn their game against Minnesota around after going 0-2 down, while América drew their game against Nashville by the same score, not without some controversy.

Only one Mexican team could emerge from Clásico Regio – Tigres or Monterrey. In the end it turned out to be a dream debut for new signing Sergio Canales, who scored a stoppage time winner from the spot to put Rayados through to the next round and send the Clausura 2023 champions out of the Leagues Cup.
