Chivas and Atlas are without direction. They try but fall very low. Both teams trail in the general table accompanied by the Pumas, the three with just 8 points, causing pity in the tournament.
The defeat of Atlas 1-2 against Cruz Azul in Jalisco, meant an end to El Turco Asad in the technical direction of la Furia.
Eugenio Ruiz Orozco, president of the club, reported the leave. "We decided to thank Omar Asad, and on Monday or Tuesday we will give the announcement of who will stay on as a coach".
The names that are mentioned are Luis Fernando Tena or José Luis Mata, who served as assistant to Assad, for taking over the red and black.
Meanwhile Chivas could have sunk to the bottom of the general board if it wasn't for Pumas that lost again (0-1 Santos) and also ranked last with 8 points. The National Autonomous University of Mexico and Guadalajara, are of the so-called big teams, which in a not too distant past, stocked the Mexican Team of good players. These two squads and also the Atlas, boasts (or boasted) to be a source of new high quality players, the solid talent sources of national football. That is what they have (or had) in common, and now they lie in the basement waiting for a miracle.
In contrast with the America, the champion seems to have no one to give it battle. In the Apertura Tournament 2013 of the League MX, besides being leader of the general classification, it has already qualified for the playoffs with 31 points. This is because the team that ranks ninth with 16 points is Xolos of Tijuana, and there are only 12 remaining for dispute.
The Águilas have gone ahead to qualify, after conclusively winning in the Classic 2-0 against a Chivas that gave a battle, but that fell in just five minutes with goals from the Americanists Raúl Torres and Luis Gabriel Rey.
In the second place, six points behind America, is el León, followed closely by Toluca that reached 23, the same as Santos, Morelia and Cruz Azul, but with a better goal difference.
Other results of the day 13 were: Morelia 2-1 Chiapas, Xolos 1-0 Queretaro, Atlante 2-1 Monterrey, Pachuca 1-1 Veracruz, Tigres UANL 1-2 Toluca and Leon 3-1 Puebla.
