Mazatlán FC Hosts Necaxa in Final Match of Liga MX Apertura 2025

Mazatlán, Mexico — Mazatlán FC is set to face Necaxa in their last game of the Liga MX Apertura 2025 on Friday, November 7. With only 13 points accumulated, the Cañoneros aim to conclude the tournament positively for their fans at Estadio El Encanto.

This match comes with significant implications for the visiting Rayos, coached by Fernando Gago. Necaxa needs a win to maintain hopes of making the Play-In round, as they currently sit just out of qualification with 16 points. A victory could propel them into 10th place, challenging teams like Pumas who have 18 points.

The stakes are high for both teams, albeit for different reasons. While Mazatlán has been eliminated from contention, they aspire to finish their season on a high note, especially considering their poor run of form with four games without a win (two draws, two losses). In contrast, Necaxa has experienced a recent resurgence, hunting for crucial points to keep their playoff ambitions alive.

Historically, Necaxa holds an advantage over Mazatlán, winning five out of their ten previous encounters, with three ending in draws and Mazatlán winning only twice. Their last meeting at El Encanto concluded in a 0-0 stalemate.

Tension builds as both sides prepare to take the pitch. Mazatlán’s Coach Dante Siboldi aims to motivate his players despite the disappointing season. Meanwhile, Gago emphasizes the need for his team to capitalize on this opportunity.

The match kicks off at 9:00 PM local time and will be broadcast on Azteca 7. Fans of both teams eagerly anticipate this crucial showdown.
