Luego de los espantosos incidentes ocurridos durante el duelo entre Querétaro y Atlas, este fin de semana vuelve la acción del Clausura 2022 y uno de los platos de fondo es el Clásico Nacional entre Chivas y América.
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's soccer league on Sunday said it would suspend upcoming matches at a stadium in the central city of Querétaro where violent clashes left two dozen people injured and restrict visiting fans from attending away games.

The LA Galaxy put a damper on expansion side Charlotte FC's inaugural home game as Efraín Álvarez's late goal held up for a 1-0 win Saturday night before a Major League Soccer record crowd of 74,479.
The atmosphere and loudness of the huge crowd was the story of the night in North American soccer, but the Galaxy put on a better overall performance than the home team.
EFRA WHAT DID YOU JUST DO
Mexico co-captain and Atlético Madrid midfielder Héctor Herrera will be joining the Houston Dynamo in July as his contract expires with the LaLiga giants at the end of the 2021-22 season. The Herrera Houston Dynamo move will be a free transfer with his contract running until 2025 and without a doubt the biggest in club history.
At this point, you get the feeling it'll be a cold day in hell when Mexico takes to the pitch without Memo Ochoa in goal, whose appearances in the latest window of qualifying brought him to a grand total of 125 caps for El Tri — just five behind legendary keeper Jorge Campos.
MLS's opening weekend took center stage Sunday with a massive clash on ESPN between the league's most decorated club, LA Galaxy, and reigning Cup champion NYCFC.

Castellanos put the visitors on top in the fifth minute when he fired a penalty kick into the left side of the net.
A bad-blooded Liga MX clash between Pumas and León on Sunday ended with both sides having 10 men on the pitch, but Pumas could've gone down to nine in the final minutes if not for an incredible piece of sportsmanship from León's Luis "Chapo" Montes.
The two sides entered matchweek five separated by just a point, and the first half at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City was finely poised with Santiago Colombatto giving León the lead in the 20th minute with a left-footed strike from 17 yards out before Rogério brought Pumas level just four minutes later.
LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur sank to a third successive Premier League defeat as first-half goals by Raúl Jiménez and Leander Dendoncker gave Wolverhampton Wanderers a 2-0 away win to lift them into seventh place on Sunday.
