Puebla opened their Liga MX Apertura campaign with a 4-2 win over Mazatlán, as Israel Reyes, Fernando Aristeguieta, Martín Barragán and Amaury Gabriel Escoto Ruíz all got on the scoresheet.
There weren't as many free-scoring antics last time out, but Gustavo Ferrareis supplied the winner to seal a 1-0 win over Santos Laguna, ensuring a perfect start to the season for the hosts.

León have been at the center of some exciting matches so far this term. They beat San Luis 2-1 with a stoppage time goal from Lucas Di Yorio to open the season, then followed that up with an even tighter contest.
Against Pumas last weekend, they managed a 3-3 draw despite being a man down for much of the match. Osvaldo Rodríguez was red carded in the 21st minute, with León trailing 1-0 at the time.
Despite slipping to a three-goal deficit, Di Yorio netted a brace either side of a finish from Joel Campbell to cement a remarkable comeback performance - and keep them unbeaten this term.
Predicted Leon starting XI: Castillo, Barreiro, Bellón Saracho, Tesillo, Campbell, Rodríguez, Moreno, Martínez, Dávila, Di Yorio; Cota.
