Sorry for the late results
Sorry I have not been able to post in so long, had a problem getting to the library to post and since I was not able to watch any of the games from Sunday, I do not really know the results. But to make it up, at the moment I am watching a streamed game between America and San Luis, with San Luis winning 1-0 at the moment. However, i will not be able to post the second half since its about closing time here so if I am able I will post tomorrow in the morning. Hopefully I can get my work done in time and can get to the library to post about this weeks games. Till next time

The game from Friday and Saturday
This weekend we had only one game on Friday and 5 games on Saturday. Here are the results so far
Estudiantes 0 - 2 Jaguares
Santos 1 - 1 Chivas
Cruz Azul 0 - 1 Monarcas
Querétaro 4 - 0 Pumas UNAM
Atlas 1 - 1 San Luis
Tigres 5 - 0 Pachuca
To start off i would like to say I was pretty disappointed when I heard the results of the Pumas game and their
unfortunate defeat to Queretaro but then again I am shocked that Queretaro did such a great job to not only win but to score 4 goals on such a high up team. That takes guts and skill.
Now to my game. Tigres vs Pachuca. This was an interesting game for me because before Tigres was just getting by with scoring one goal and winning but for this game they needed to show that they could not only win but dominate the game. And that's exactly what they did. They showed us and everyone who doubted them that they could take the lead and keep on going. To start off the game Hector Mancilla scored the first goal at the 18th minute to give them an early lead. It was soon followed by a goal by Lucas Lobos at the 24th, which was also followed by another goal Héctor Mancilla at the 36th minute reinforcing our lead. Pretty much the full first half was just a domination game for Tigres because they came ready to take the lead and win this game, and that's exactly how they played. Then for the second half after a beautiful center from a direct shot on goal, the goalie from Pachuca came out wrong to block the ball but missed and it changed the direction of the ball and lead to an own goal by Segundo Castillo giving Tigres an 4-0 lead. But it did not end there, Tigres kept on the attack and to everyone's suprise Héctor Mancill scored his third goal at the 78th minute to ensure the win with a 5-0 and his first hat trick of the season. But Tigres still did not give up and continued to attack and what should have been a penalty was not given and then Pachuca started to attempt attacks just to avoid the 6th goal. As the final whistle was blown, both the Tigres fans and the team were happy with their win and hopefully we will see more games like this.
I will try to edit this later as I have work to do right now so all add the Santos game as well as the Atlas game later.

Sundays game and News
Like i had said on my last post I was not able to watch the San Luis - Monarcas match but here are the results. San Luis lost 2-3 to Monarcas. I really wish I had watched this game because what the results show is that San Luis took the lead in the first half but then Monarcas striked back with two goals to take the lead. Then by the second half Monarcas lost a player due to a red card but continued to hold off the lead and ended up scoring a third goal, giving them a great lead. But San Luis didnt give up right away and continued to tie up the game but were unable to and only scored their second goal at the last minute of the game.
In other news, the games should resume like normal next week and then the next makeup game will be the 14th. Also, seeing how Santos has been having troubles these last few games they have decided to bring by the former USA soccer coach Bob Bradley to try and negotiate a potential job. Now I am not sure how that would turn out because Bob Bradley is a good coach but I fell that the language barrier could be a possible set back in him getting the job, but seeing as he had such great success with the national USA soccer team he could be the one to get Santos back on track. I will try to keep a look on things during the week on any more news updates and continue with the next round of results on Friday.
