Thanks to the 13 points that they earned in the first part of the season; Los Cementeros had the chance of maintaining themselves in the top part of the table even with the irregular results that they had from the seventh round until the end.

They even had the chance of making it directly into Liguilla on the last game of the season, as a victory against Club América in the Clásico Joven would have given them enough points to surpass Club Puebla and Atlas.

But La Máquina wasn’t able to beat Las Águilas and ended the regular season with a scoreless draw that sent them to the eight place, forcing Cruz Azul to play Repechaje, where they will have to face Club Necaxa in Estadio Azteca to earn a ticket to Liguilla.
