Facts and stats from Matchday 5 of the Apertura 2019 tournament

  • Toluca managed to beat Tijuana this weekend to earn their first win of the tournament. This leaves Veracruz as the only team uncapable of winning a game in the Apertura 2019.

  • This is the 10th time in history in which América goes on to be the last unbeaten team of any tournament.

  • Guadalajara has never been able to bounce back from a 2-0 score at halftime against Necaxa. This weekend, Chivas lost against Los Rayos with a 2-1 score.
