On Friday, November 8, 2024, Querétaro and Santos Laguna faced off in the final match of the Apertura 2024 season of the Liga MX. This encounter, held at the Estadio Corregidora, was crucial for both teams as they sought to avoid finishing at the bottom of the table.

Querétaro, under the management of Mauro Gerk, entered the match with a dismal record, having accumulated only 9 points and winning just two games throughout the season. The team was on a six-game winless streak, with their last victory dating back to September 20 against Atlas. Their recent losses included defeats to Pumas UNAM, Juárez, León, and Toluca.

Santos Laguna, managed by Ignacio Ambriz, was not faring much better, with 10 points and two wins in the season. They were on an eight-game winless streak, having lost their last two matches against Chivas and Cruz Azul. Despite their poor performance, Santos Laguna aimed to secure a positive result to end the year on a better note.

The match was not broadcast on traditional television but was available for streaming on Caliente TV and through live coverage on MARCA MX.

The probable lineups for the match saw Querétaro fielding players such as Guillermo Allison, Omar Mendoza, and Ronaldo Cisneros, while Santos Laguna lined up with Carlos Acevedo, Ismael Govea, and Anthony Lozano.

The historical context between the two teams showed a mixed bag of results, with Querétaro having the edge in recent encounters. However, the current form of both teams suggested a closely contested match with neither side having a clear advantage.
