Zurdazo and celebration. Necaxa starts the Apertura 2018 Liga MX on a good note and at halftime of the match against America they were winning. Chilean midfielder Victor Davila opened the scoring after a brilliant counterattack in the 35th minute.

Davila found himself one on one against Bruno Valdez, faked with his right foot and then struck a powerful left-footed shot that made Marchesin's dive useless, causing the Estadio Victoria to erupt with joy. Necaxa wants to start the tournament on the right foot.

The 'Piojo' Herrera's team is coming off a valuable and honorable draw against Manchester United in the International Champions Cup and they hope to continue their good form.

However, the Azulcremas had some unfortunate news before the start of the official Liga MX competition. During friendly matches, Jeremy Menez and Cecilio Dominguez suffered fractures, to the knee and jaw respectively.
