Mazatlán and Cruz Azul will close out Friday’s lineup to kick off Round 12 of the Clausura 2026 in what promises to be one of the toughest matches for “Los Cañoneros.” Nicolás Larcamón’s “La Máquina” has stood out as one of the best clubs so far this season, while the home side faces a completely different reality, sitting just barely above Santos Laguna, Querétaro, and León.
The “Celestes” lost their spot at the top of the table following Chivas’ victory in their rescheduled Round 9 match; however, they remain only one point behind “El Rebaño.” Los Cañoneros will need to take advantage of playing at home and make El Encanto stadium a difficult place to play if they hope to rescue points in a duel where the visitors are the heavy favorites.
