The big winner of this week's battle for the ratings came from an international friendly, with a Liga MX clash following it closely.

Football fans in the United States had quite a variety of options to watch in terms of football games, and surprisingly, it was an international match that caught the most attention from football enthusiasts in the country.

The game that won this week's battle for the ratings had the USMNT and Mexico playing out to an exciting one-all draw. Mexico took the lead in the first minutes of the second half, and even if Diego Cocca's men came close to adding up to that lead, the USMNT bounced back and capitalized on a swift counter-attack.

The runner-up for the week came out of a Liga MX match, where underdogs Pumas UNAM earned a 1-1 draw against América, one of the leaders in the Mexican top-flight. Pumas were unable to hold on to their lead, as the game's goals came in just a matter of five minutes. That game earned Univisión over 900,000 average viewers, which combined with TUDN's tally add up to over one million fans watching this game.

The bronze medal in this ranking goes to the return leg of the UEFA Champions League tie between Bayern and Manchester City, which also concluded in a one-all draw but with the English side making it through. The Cityzens took the lead thanks to Erling Haaland, but a late penalty saved a bit of pride for the hosts.
