With a little suffering at the end, Pachuca managed to beat Necaxa 2-1 at home and they reclaim the top spot of Clausura 2023 in Liga MX. The Tuzos are a solid team so far in the first 4 matches despite the stumble they had against Tigres, being defeated in the second match. Guillermo Almada's team secured the 3 points thanks to Javier López's header and a goal from Gustavo Cabral from the penalty spot at 79 minutes. Towards the end, in the last play, VAR sanctioned the penalty in favor of Necaxa and Facundo Batista scored from the penalty spot, but it wouldn't be enough to avoid the Tuzos' victory. With this result, Pachuca is tied with Monterrey at the top with 9 points, while Necaxa only has 3 points and sits in fourteenth place.
