The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) on Tuesday handed a six-year ban to an unnamed Liga MX Femenil player from Mazatlán FC after an investigation into alleged match-fixing The FMF said the alleged offense took place during the ongoing Clausura tournament which took place between January and April "The Disciplinary Committee of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) reports that it conducted a detailed investigation into the possible fixing of matches corresponding to the 2025 Clausura tournament of the Liga BBVA MX Femenil by players of Club Mazatlán FC," the federation said in a statement on Tuesday "After reviewing the evidence and granting the right to a hearing to those involved based on the FMF's Regulation of Sanctions as well as the FIFA Code of Ethics and the FMF Code of Ethics to sanction the player with a six-year suspension from any activity related to professional soccer (sporting An unnamed Mazatlán player was given a six-year ban for match-fixing. Imago7Due to the severity of the sanction the FMF also noted that the case's information would be forwarded to FIFA The investigation began after Mazatlán players were accused of fixing a 7-0 loss to Tigres in March Mazatlán allowed a goal within the first 63 seconds of the away game the Liga MX Femenil side finished third-to-last at 16th place and finished with the worst goal differential (-45) of the campaign Mazatlán noted in a statement that the club "recognizes and supports the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Mexican Football Federation." the institution reiterates its commitment to society and to Mexican football to preserve the values of the sport and promote fair play A viral video showing an encounter between a homeowner and a construction worker in Mazatlán has escalated into public protests and a heated debate over urban tensions misinformation and the power of social media initially described as a case of a gringo (American) harassing a Mexican laborer is a lifelong Mazatlán local — a Mazatleco — not an American What happened earlier this week reportedly was this: Lizárraga eating lunch on a public sidewalk outside his home to move because they were blocking his entrance and garage He said his house is on Cruz Lizárraga Avenue, a well-known street one block from the beach named not for him but for clarinetist Don Cruz Lizárraga, the founder of the famous music group Banda El Recodo Being built right there, near the intersection with Hamm Street, is Stelarhe, a luxury residential complex of two 30-floor towers offering ocean views and high-end amenities “All I asked of the workers who were blocking the entrance to my home on Monday was that they move to another side to clear the way,” Lizárraga told Noroeste in a phone interview and my family has been here for generations.” A video of the encounter was shared by a bystander who believed Lizárraga was a foreigner and labeled him as such with users accusing him of racism and classism and the harassment of a Mexican citizen in his own territory On Wednesday, dozens of protesters gathered outside Lizárraga’s home, chanting, waving Mexican flags, throwing eggs and banging on his doors, while passing cars honked in support. The rhythm of the song “Por Mi México” blared in the background they’re destroying my garage doors,” Lizárraga recounted as the protest unfolded no police intervened until after damage was done adding that his wife called authorities out of concern for their safety Lizárraga explained that the ongoing construction of the tower has brought daily disruptions for years noise and debris — a common experience for Mexicans in many urban locations made especially irritating when the construction is being driven by tourism and creating more rental units for foreigners — Sonora Visión Noticias (@SVNNoticias) April 24, 2025 between 15 and 20 people come here to eat on average daily … I have no problem with that … What I do have a problem with is when … they block the garage and they block the entrance door.” described feeling “attacked” but said he did not wish to escalate the situation voiced anger at what they perceived as disrespect toward local workers The episode has reignited debates over gentrification, urban development and the impact of tourism-driven construction which many locals feel has eroded community cohesion and strained public spaces eventually confirmed Lizárraga’s local status — a day or two after the incident — and cautioned against mob justice fueled by social media rumors “It’s hard to imagine that a lie can have such a reach,” Lizárraga said Although this incident proved to not involve a foreigner, gringo-versus-locals incidents are not uncommon in Mazatlán, a Sinaloa port city of 442,000 About a year ago, a video sparked a fiery debate between people supporting the right of musicians to play loud banda music on or near the beach and backers of an anti-noise ordinance Those seeking to prohibit such music included hotel owners business leaders and politicians — allegedly in an attempt to cater to the desires of tourists and non-Mexican residents ADVERTISE WITH MND COMMUNITY GUIDELINES Subscription FAQ's Privacy Policy Mexico News Daily -

Scheduled to fill in for Medina and Cuen on Thursday night was an act of former Mexican stars billed as ’90s Pop Tour who have teamed up on a tour titled Juntos (Together) are both former lead singers of the successful grupera band La Arrolladora Banda El Limón which started in the Sinaloa town of El Limón de los Peraza Other scheduled performers at this year’s Mazatlán Carnival — iconic opera singer Plácido Domingo 22-time Latin Grammy Award winner Alejandro Sanz and three-decade norteño favorites La Adictiva from Sinaloa — remained in the lineup As for the narco threats against the musicians the Mazatlán threats are part of a growing trend of cartel intimidation targeting regional Mexican musicians I think the government is losing control of this situation,” singer Julio Preciado said in the online newspaper Infobae “I don’t know where we are going with this Some say the threats have effectively given cartels power to curate festival and concert lineups, with the states of Baja California, Sinaloa and Jalisco being hotspots for this phenomenon.

Notable events held in the resort city include the Mazatlán International Carnival the Delfino Maza Surfing Tournament and the Polanco Jazz Festival The head of the Tres Islas Hotel Association which he said might be the turning point the city needs Sinaloa, located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, is currently going through a security crisis that began in September after the arrest of Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. The arrest kicked off a feud between factions within the cartel that has impacted the lives of residents and the local economy “We’re collaborating with the security committees the federal government and the private sector,” Manguart said “Carnival represents a great opportunity for Mazatlán Tourism Minister Josefina Rodríguez Zamora stressed the federal government’s commitment to support Sinaloa and assured that these actions are aligned with the national goal of “shared prosperity.” “Mazatlán is much more than a tourist destination It is a place where each visitor can immerse themselves in an ocean of unique and memorable experiences,” she said is currently going through a security crisis According to the Employers’ Confederation of Mexico (Coparmex) violence has resulted in economic losses for the state amounting to 18 billion pesos (US $875 million) For many residents of Mazatlán, especially those reliant on the tourism sector, the late February  Carnival festivities present a vital chance to lift the local economy after the outbreak of violence that began September last year. An internal struggle within the Sinaloa Cartel has led to murders confrontations between armed groups and the army carjackings and kidnappings across the state The state capital of Culiacán has been especially hard-hit by the conflict with the restaurant and event industries greatly affected by insecurity While Mazatlán has seen less action in the cartel war than some areas tourism has dropped steeply since the conflict began Businesses and residents who depend on the tourism industry hope this year’s Carnival will turn the economic tide With reports from El Economista and Punto Mx D.C.

continue after the state of Sinaloa’s zoning and urban development regulations were tweaked to specify the height allowances on new buildings The decision to update the state’s building codes will unfreeze US $300 million in funding for construction projects in Mazatlán that had been paused awaiting clarification on building height limits The new regulations will allow structures of up to 30 floors Among the construction projects poised to restart are a complex of Stelarhe condominiums, the Hotel Hyde, built by the French hospitality multinational Grupo Accor, and the Aguamarina Talismán condos these projects are expected to create 1,000 new jobs in Mazatlán slowed building activities in May while awaiting confirmation that they’d be able to carry out their designs The pause was

Semi-Finals in the Leagues Cup for a second consecutive year They will face Columbus Crew who also win via Shootout following a 1-1 regulation tie with NYCFC it was not until being reduced to 10 men at the end of the first half that the Union took the lead Forward Tai Baribo was adjudged to have committed two fouls in as many minutes Jack McGlynn’s lovely through ball put Mikael Uhre in on net Mazatlán really began to apply the pressure They equalized from an attacking set piece and late in the second half Following the conclusion of second-half stoppage time the game immediately went to a penalty shootout The Union were able to dispatch Mazatlán in the shootout with Andre Blake making two saves and Jesus Bueno scoring the winning penalty The first real chance of the game came to Philadelphia Quinn Sullivan played Uhre into the final third Uhre’s cutback pass is weakly cleared by a defender and went right to the onrushing Sullivan who takes a powerful shot from a tight angle which rippled the side netting on the outside of the goal Mazlatan struggled to maintain possession in the opening ten minutes and the Union looked better in the early stages of the match McGlynn and Gazdag combined for a lovely sequence of passes deep in their defensive third to get out of pressure much to the pleasure of the nearest supporters’ sections Los Canoneros grew into the game and began to create attacks Mazlatan had found space in the width of the pitch and started attacking down the wings but every cross they sent in was cleared away by a Union defender Jack Elliot had to slide to make a good block on a Mazatlán winger who was looking to square a dangerous ball across the six in the 15th minute Andre Blake had to make a fantastic one-handed diving save Arciga had space at the top of the box and rocketed a shot towards goal but Blake got his fingertips to it a dangerous ball was headed across his net but again Blake stood tall and claimed it Arciga was involved in the play again but this time for the wrong reasons fouling the German defender and drawing the ire of the crowd No card was issued but it marked the start of the chippiness that can so often accompany these inter-continental matchups After a period of Union turnovers that saw Mazatlán dominate possession the first coherent Union attack in a while came in the 38th minute A McGlynn dime found Sullivans who laid it off to Uhre who was able to win a corner a scuffle in the box between Baribo and a Mazatlán defender led to the Israeli striker being carded the ball was cleared away for another corner Again Baribo and a defender came together but this time the referee went to his back pocket and showed a straight red card to Baribo After a minute or two the referee went to the VAR monitor to review Head Referee Selvin Chavarria waved off the red card and instead issued a yellow card still sending Baribo off due to it being his second yellow card the Union would get almost instant catharsis Uhre isolated his defender just across the halfway line played a lovely ball that sent Uhre in behind he chipped Ricardo Guiterrez and the ball bounced in off the far post giving the Union a 1-0 lead three minutes into first-half stoppage time An exciting end-to-end start marked the beginning of the second frame of action Wagner barely managed to clear away a dangerous Mazatlán squared ball in the Union box His clearance found Sullivan who played an outrageous outside-of-the-foot-pass that split the Mazatlán center backs and put Uhre through on goal The Dane tried to round Gutierrez but didn’t get the angle right and his chance went begging After a period of back-and-forth possession with no notable action Uhre got in behind the Mazatlán defense again This time it was direct from a long Jack Elliot pass the script was suddenly flipped on the Union Mazatlán won the ball and counter-attacked themselves while the 10-man Union were still out of position A retreating Glesnes did enough to slow down the ball carrier but he was adjudged to have committed a foul and was duly booked in the 58th minute the ball was played out wide to an unmarked Arciga the cross came into the box and Alonso Escoboza headed home past Blake to tie the score in the 59th Head Coach Jim Curtin turned to his bench in the 66th minute making a triple change by sending on Damion Lowe These changes also seemed to signify a formation change to a 5-3-1 with Gazdag now operating as the sole Center Forward Mazatlán had the majority of the changes down the stretch which is understandable given Tai Baribo’s red card and Curtin’s decision to bunker up A defensive miscommunication nearly spelled disaster for the Union in the 86th minute A Mazatlán cross swung in and while Blake moved to collect Lowe jumped and cleared it out for a corner The resulting corner led to a flurry of chances for Mazatlán that the Union barely survived a Mazatlán header hit the crossbar and was cleared away by Elliot Mazatlán kept the ball and got off a few more vicious shots that were all well blocked by the Union defense who is expected to leave the club in this transfer window Blake stood tall and dove the right way on the first Mazatlán PK Martinez stepped up to take the first Union penalty his stuttered run-up froze the keeper and he smashed his shot home Mazatlán scored their next shot but so did Elliot giving the Union a massive advantage in the shootout Damion Lowe also employed a stutter step run-up Even though Mazatlán scored their next take Blake guessed the right way but was unable to stop the shot and slotted it home past the diving Gutierrez Another bad refereeing performance — The Barbio double red card feels like a Mark Geiger decision that would have been discussed on MLS’s Instant Replay 10 years ago It was a ridiculous sequence and yet another chapter in some of the terrible refereeing decisions made in the Leagues Cup Being a referee at any level is a hard job but with all the tools these officials have in this competition this kind of decision is bizarre- no matter which team bears its ill effects and losing the player who’s been their talisman over the team’s recent winning streak Jose’s swan song — With an imminent transfer to Corinthians seemingly in the final stages it was something of a surprise that the Venezuelan was able to dress for this match Despite only getting subbed on in 2nd half stoppage time Martinez made his presence felt by scoring the first PK for the Union in the shootout 45 + 1’ 2nd Yellow Card – Tai Baribo 45 + 3’ Goal – Mikael Uhre (Jack McGlynn) 45 + 9’ Yellow Card – Edgar Barcenas  59′ Goal – Alonso Escoboza (Ramiro Arciga) Head Referee: Selvin Antonio Brown Chavarria  Watched this jawn up in Canada under the table at dinner Then my wife made me get off the floor so I just held the phone low Thought for sure the fix was in when Tai got sent off but dang if we didnt score A nice guts win that I hope pays off later in the season Would have liked to see Gazdag get back on that horse Thought the U wasnt allowed to win on days the Phils win but glad to see they didnt get the memo… But credit to the fans who made the tifo for him I got home in time to watch the match on Crapple last night 1) It is impossible to overstate Andre Blake’s importance to this team Someone who is nerdier than I could probably look up the results of all matches both with Dre and without him during his tenure with the Union and report those results to us We have seen a microcosm of that this year: Everyone plays better when he is in goal 2) I am sorry I was not there to wish El Brujo adios in person I am glad he was honored by taking the first PK of the night He is the grittiest player the Union have had in their tenure we can welcome him back when there is a full house and we can truly show our appreciation for all that he has meant to this team 3) Selvin Brown is not qualified to referee youth soccer I knew it was going to be a difficult night when in the 25th minute or so Mazatlan’s player was allowed to get away with a nasty late challenge on Wagner with no yellow card the foul seemed designed to incite retaliation Tai Baribo can be seen asking Brown why there was no yellow card would probably have resulted in less fouls in the game 4) I took a quick look at the rules for yellow card accumulation in Leagues Cup because I was curious why Mazatlan which led Leagues Cup in the total number of both fouls and yellow cards would engage in so many challenges that risked yellow cards The answer is that yellow card accumulation was reset before the quarterfinals in Columbus–they are going to need all the luck it to score without Tai Baribo I agree Leno is a homer but in this case I think he was correct- those yellows to Tai were suspect Columbus entered in the round of 16 in the CCC so they only played 3 more CCC games than we did plus they missed the group stage of Leagues Cup and have only played 23 league games that means we’ve actually played 1 more game this season than they have (0 if you count their friendly against Aston Villa) rescheduling the league game will be tough I forgot that they entered both tournaments later Definitely some moments in 2nd half were they turned off and had some poor passes but they did just enough Thought Curtin’s move to make 3 defensive subs to sure up the defense so they didn’t lose outright and could get to penalties was an astute read of the situation- something we don’t always see from him I actually didn’t like that move from Jim at all He left us with one non-striker playing up top virtually insuring that we would be unable to score on a counterattack I wanted him to bring in Adineran earlier rather than Lowe but we were fortunate that Blake did better on PKs than he usually does I had the same initial reaction but then realized I was just waiting for Mazatlan to score I think Jim saw it was more likely they would score than us and coming back from down a goal would have been tough next Saturday’s game against Columbus has been pushed back to the following Wednesday (8/28) which means it is not during an international break and both teams will be playing on the same amount of rest (although it will be a short rest for the New Jersey game the following Saturday) and website in this browser for the next time I comment The armored personnel carrier looked like a battle tank who were chatting outside a house in the residential area and asked permission to take a photo in front of the armored vehicle The officers went quiet and looked at each other before one responded: “Yes Despite being an international artist and winner of more than 20 Latin Grammys Alejandro Sanz wasn’t able to fill the venue even after organizers

government’s commitment to maintaining peace The government of Rocha Moya announced that over 3,000 security agents would be present to protect the city during Carnival What better way to celebrate the joy of Carnival than with a security deployment worthy of a major conflict zone While the Sinaloa government vaunted the party, the tension between Mexico and the Trump administration in the United States grew. Three months into his second term, Trump has placed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China, blaming them for the deadly fentanyl overdose crisis in the U.S. — the same fentanyl that has been found in Sinaloa narco-laboratories On top of that, the Trump administration designated the Sinaloa Cartel and five other Mexican cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations.” Adding to the tension, on Feb. 4 an RC-135 Rivet Joint spy plane belonging to the U.S. Air Force flew around the Baja Peninsula and into the Gulf of California On the morning of Feb. 27, as Mazatlán prepared for the first day of Carnival, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced the historic transfer of 29 prisoners from Mexico to the United States a gesture of good faith towards that country’s leaders The Sinaloan government’s operations to prevent any outbreak of violence practically converted Mazatlán into a fortress “Pa’ fuera lo malo” (“Out with the bad energy”) the singer yelled repeatedly as the stage lights painted the stadium red but he appeared to be aware that he was giving a performance in a violent area The music resumed and the public continued to sing along But the concert didn’t end with the force it had started with Despite the excellent musicians onstage with him we waited to see if there would be another but what else could we expect from a concert with 2-for-1 tickets The ephemeral joy that surrounded the city has faded, the tourists have returned home and nightlife has died down. However, the marches led by mothers and family members of the disappeared continue to grow The army patrols the streets and my only souvenir of this year’s Carnival is a photo with an armored vehicle ready for war This story was translated by Mexico News Daily senior news editor Rose Egelhoff Eduardo Esparza is a professor, filmmaker and professional photographer from Mazatlán, Sinaloa.

A Sun Country Airlines flight on Wednesday from the Twin Cities to Mazatlan, Mexico, was diverted to El Paso, Texas, due to what the airline characterized as an unspecified “security concern.” However, the FBI office in El Paso issued a statement late Wednesday that its investigation “determined there was no threat to the safety of the passengers, flight crew or the airplane.” According to a statement from Sun Country spokesperson Wendy Burt, the airplane landed in El Paso without incident and passengers were provided overnight accommodations. Flight 593, with 156 passengers, was scheduled to leave Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport at 11 a.m. But it didn’t take off until 2:21 p.m., owing to Wednesday’s heavy snowfall. The flight was due to arrive in Mazatlan at 5:15 p.m., Pacific time. But the FBI was notified at about 4:15 p.m. Mountain time by its National Threat Operation Center that the plane was being diverted to El Paso International Airport, where it landed at 4:25 p.m. The FBI conducted interviews “to determine the circumstances behind the reported security concern,” but didn’t say what the concern was.

The New England Revolution will begin their 2024 Leagues Cup campaign at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night, and their opponents will be Liga MX side Mazatlán FC – in one sense relative newcomers to Mexican soccer, but a team with whom the Revolution actually have something of a history. Contesting Leagues Cup for the second time in their history, Mazatlán will be coming in as hungry underdogs eager to cause an upset and make a run in this year’s edition of the tournament. Los Cañoneros (“The Gunners”) were established in 2020 when Monarcas Morelia relocated their club to the city of Mazatlán, on the Pacific coast of Mexico facing the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Primarily known as a resort destination, Mazatlán has carved out a name for itself as a niche travel destination catering to beachgoers and cultural tourists alike. Keen-eyed Revolution fans might recognize the former Monarcas Morelia club identity from an older continental competition. In 2010, New England earned a 1-0 victory over Morelia at home to round out a perfect SuperLiga group stage, on a night perhaps better remembered for the retirement announcement from MLS legend Steve Ralston. The Revs would meet Morelia again in the SuperLiga final that year, falling 2-1 at Gillette Stadium. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mazatlán F. C. (@mazatlanfc) life in Liga MX has proven difficult so far They missed out on the expanded playoffs in both the Apertura and the Clausura of their first 2020-21 season and finished bottom of the table for the 2023 Clausura Los Cañoneros have gotten off to a similarly rocky start holding a 0-3-1 (1 pt.) domestic record coming into Leagues Cup And the competition may provide some welcome respite for them In their first appearance in Leagues Cup last season at Q2 Stadium and edging out FC Juárez on penalties before bowing out against FC Dallas in the Round of 32 Given the difficulty they have faced in getting their season up and running Mazatlán can be expected to come up to Foxborough hungry for a win and eager to prove themselves against MLS opposition With the Revolution still waiting for a number of key players to return from injury Leagues Cup 2024 will pose a unique challenge to head coach Caleb Porter and his team Throw in the rivalry between MLS and Liga MX and the history between these two teams specifically and fans can expect to see sparks when the Revs host Mazatlán FC this weekend as both teams fight to make their mark on the continental stage The colonial port city of Mazatlán is known for many things is considered one of the longest in the world which crowns a Gibraltar-like rock that rises from the sea is ranked among the tallest natural lighthouses in the world Recently added to the list of the city’s attractions is the Gran Acuario Mazatlán the largest aquarium in Latin America and the only one in the world dedicated to the Sea of Cortéz Opened in May 2023 following four years of construction a celebration of the unique wildlife and marine ecosystems in the Sea of Cortéz is the centerpiece of the city’s 75-acre Central Park Focused on the preservation of seas and coastlines the Gran Acuario Mazatlán combines unrivaled architecture and state-of-the-art conservation technology Designed by Mexican architect Tatiana Bilbao whose works often merge geometry with nature the three-story aquarium houses 260 marine species The showcase attraction is the great Oceanic habitat a 2.8-million-liter exhibition tank with a window that is more than 42 feet tall by 23 feet wide the aquarium’s exhibition tanks hold approximately 1.2 million gallons of water In addition to the colossal fish and coral reef tanks the facility boasts a large lake filled with nearly 53 million gallons of water.Among the marine animals on display are 36 species of mammals (including sea lions) 31 cetaceans (including dolphins and other aquatic mammals) five of the seven global species of sea turtles “The abundant marine fauna and the crystalline waters that bathe the coasts of the states of Baja California Sonora and Sinaloa led (French oceanographer) Jacques Cousteau to call the Sea of Cortéz ‘the aquarium of the world,’” said Miguel Torruco Marques He pointed out that the Gran Acuario Mazatlan brings many benefits to the city such as an increase in the average stay of tourists and higher occupancy levels The aquarium has already generated a greater economic spillover throughout the value chain of tourism activity especially to small and medium-size businesses we continue the path of making tourism a tool for social reconciliation,” Marques stated when the aquarium made its debut Sinaloa and Mexico in the ‘showcase’ of world tourism.” The recent debut of snorkeling and diving experiences at the Gran Acuario Mazatlán has added an exciting new interactive dimension to the already popular tourist attraction and research institute Visitors can now swim with sharks and learn about hundreds of pelagic species both large and small in a safe environment These new attractions have been an instant success with adventurous visitors The minimum age to enjoy the snorkeling experience is 12 years old;

It's been a difficult start to the Apertura campaign for Mazatlán (0-3-1 who sit second from bottom with just one draw and three losses from four games that following up a 14th-place finish in the

suggested it had been wrapped in the net for some time — La Jornada (@lajornadaonline) January 10, 2025 On Wednesday night, local residents gathered along city’s oceanside malecón where the enormous whale came ashore Local civil protection authorities responded quickly to the alert but the animal — identified as a young humpback whale — was already dead Along with employees of the Mazatlán aquarium and agents from both the Environment Ministry (Semarnat) and the federal environmental protection agency (Profepa) the local authorities managed to remove the carcass The whale — presumed to be a young humpback as it was measured at 8 meters and 15 metric tons whereas adults of that species can reach 18 meters in length and weigh up to 36 metric tons — was removed and buried in an unspecified location Semarnat and Profepa have begun an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the whale’s death Initial suspicions are that the whale got entangled in gillnetting a type of fishing gear that consists of a wall of netting that hangs in the water typically made of monofilament or multifilament nylon vertical at the top and weights hold the net down at the bottom animals can become entangled around their necks Marine mammals entangled in set gillnets can drown while those entangled in drift gillnets can drag gear for miles as they migrate and forage Gillnets are frequently used by local fishermen according to the newspaper El Imparcial and are a leading cause of death for cetaceans The investigators will try to determine if the netting caused serious injury or led directly to the whale’s death Mazatlán Mayor Estrella Palacios said the type of gillnet involved is prohibited in Mexico and called on fishermen to properly dispose of their nets It’s necessary to “raise awareness so our fishermen understand they can’t leave behind these chinchorros because the whales get tangled in them causing these regrettable losses,” she said Another humpback whale washed up on Mazatlán’s Playa Cerritos on Dec. 15 That whale — measuring approximately 10 meters in length — was already in a severe state of decomposition and the cause of death was unclear With an MLS season not going quite as well as they would have hoped up to this point the New England Revolution are now able to take a step away from domestic play and turn their attention to Leagues Cup 2024 After bowing out on penalties in the Round of 16 of last year’s edition the Revs return to Leagues Cup looking to get going on another run and make their mark on the continental stage Head coach Caleb Porter said ahead of their first group game that the squad is still somewhat depleted limiting the team’s options for rotation in this tournament he has also said that hopes are high for the team to be more or less back to full strength once MLS play starts back up at the end of August possibly bolstered further by a few signings which would pave the way for New England to make a strong push for the playoffs in the last 11 games of the season The Apertura campaign may have only just gotten underway in Mexico but it has not been a strong start thus far for Mazatlán F.C Los Cañoneros have only one point from four matches falling to a -6 goal difference in the process and sitting only one place above last in the table Leagues Cup 2024 could easily provide Mazatlán with an early chance to reset and refocus their season They will also take confidence away from their performance in last year’s edition of the tournament emerging top of their group over FC Juárez and Austin FC before only narrowly falling to FC Dallas in the Round of 32 Be prepared to see this Liga MX side come out desperate for a win on Saturday night Wood was pivotal to New England’s only goal last weekend against FC

to be desired due to several questionable decisions Guadalajara fought against all odds and drew 1-1 against Mazatlán in a match corresponding to Day 15 of the Clausura 2025 the Rebaño will quickly return to the Perla Tapatía to work on the two matches that could give them a ticket to the Final Phase of the competition The first half was positive for the Rebaño Sagrado as they took an early lead with Teun Wilke's header they managed to completely neutralize the Sinaloa team which was unable to generate scoring chances against the Rojiblanco goal Chivas extended their dominance by taking control of the ball and controlling the actions we did not expect what would happen in the final stretch It was at 83' when everything broke down with the strange sending-off of Luis Rey who was shown the red card after clearly winning possession of the ball the referee pointed to a penalty and sent off 'Tala' Rangel so Erick Gutiérrez had to put on his gloves and sweatshirt Chivas remains in twelfth place with 17 points and must win the 2 remaining matches to aspire to the Final Phase of the Clausura 2025 after a tremendous run down the right by Roberto Alvarado who sent a precise cross

match with an extremely controversial ending Mazatlan and Chivas tied with a 1-1 score in a match that severely hurts both team’s chances to get to the post season Chivas ended the match with 9 players and with a Midfielder as Goalkeeper but were able to get the tie after a terrible attempt by the home side to get the win and not be able to get off a dangerous opportunity after tying the match even with a non goalkeeper as the last line of defense Chivas has another important match at home against Puebla while Mazatlan also has one as important at home against Tijuana The 1st half started with Chivas coming out with an offensive lineup including Alan Pulido and Teun Wilke (taking the place of the injured Javier Hernandez) up top Roberto Meraz would get off a wide open header but Chivas’ goalkeeper A cross into the area was headed wide by Nicolas Benedetti Roberto Alvarado would get off a good cross into the area where Teun Wilke would get off a good header that went past Mazatlan’s goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez and into the net to score and give Chivas the 1-0 lead whose right footed shot went right to Gonzalez A cross into the area was headed by Luis Rey past Gonzalez but cleared almost off the line by Lucas Merolla There was a controversy when Samir brought down Wilke and only got a Yellow Card The ref was called to VAR because he had been the last player when he brought down the Chivas attacker but the call remained The halftime whistle blew and Chivas took a deserved lead to their dressing room The 2nd half started with Mazatlan subbing out Omar Moreno Samir and Jefferson Intriago for Mauro Lainez Alvarado would make a great run and then give a pass into the path of Pulido who got off a right footed shot that went past Gonzalez but would hit the post Benedetti would get off a right footed shot that would go just wide Chivas subbed out the injured Yael Padilla for Fernando Beltran A cross into the area was headed by Pulido but it was easily handled by Gonzalez Mazatlan subbed out Rodolfo Pizarro for Gilberto Adame Wilke got off a left footed shot in the area that went wide A cross into the area was headed by Meraz but it was saved by Rangel Chivas subbed out Teun Wilke for Armando Gonzalez while Mazatlan subbed out Jair Diaz for Salvador Rodriguez Luis Rey would get a second Yellow card and thus a Red Chivas subbed out Alan Pulido and Roberto Alvarado for Diego Delgadillo and Ruben Gonzalez Both Chivas players got Yellow cards as they left (for taking too much time) as the match looked to be getting out of control Bryan Colula looked to have been tripped in the area by Gilberto Sepulveda The ref would be called to VAR and he would decide to give a Penalty Kick there was a scuffle as Raul Rangel had started to try to tear the field off the PK spot which earned him a second Yellow Card and thus a Red and Chivas now was down to 9 players they had no more windows for substitutions and Midfielder Erick Gutierrez Luis Amarilla would step up to take the PK and with a strong right footed shot who obviously didn’t come close to stopping it and the score got tied at 1-1 Mazatlan tried to get that next goal but they did a horrific job against a Chivas side with 9 players and without a first division goalkeeper Armando Gonzalez almost won the ball in the area before Hugo Gonzalez got to the ball Incredibly it would be the most dangerous chance as Mazatlan never got one after the PK and the match ended with a 1-1 score that didn’t help either team While Chivas had a better start to the match the red cards ended their chances and allowed them to lose out on those three points Mazatlan wasted that opportunity with a terrible level off play and a total lack of offensive ideas to take advantage of facing 9 players The match was also disastrous in every way as once again referee Fernando Hernandez had a poor job losing control of the match with uneven decisions While Mazatlan could have ended the match with 10 players after Samir had been the last defensive player when he stopped a clear goal opportunity after bringing down Wilke the ref didn’t give a red card even after going to VAR but was able to give two red cards to Chivas and a Penalty Kick There will be a lot of talk but the fact is that both sides had poor performances overall although because of different situations Chivas will now have a must win match at home on Tuesday against Puebla while Mazatlan will have the same when they host Tijuana Will Carlos Salcedo Fit In At Fiorentina?
