Mazatlan FC will take on Apertura 2023 playoff semifinalistsAtletico de San Luis at Estadio El Encanto in the Clausura 2024 season on Friday night as the second part of the 77th edition of the Liga MX kicks off.
After a tremendous start to their Liga MX Apertura campaign against all odds, Atletico San Luis' form peeled off towards the final stretch of the regular season.
They did, however, qualify for the Liguilla with a seventh-place finish, and dumped out No. 2 seed Monterrey 2-1 on aggregate in the quarter-final before crashing out in the semi-final, beaten 5-2 by eventual winners Club America.
Mazatlan, meanwhile, enjoyed a terrific run of games towards the end of the Apertura season, winning four and losing one. They made it to the final series playoffs, but things did not go as planned in the play-in round as they were eliminated 2-1 by Santos Laguna at the first hurdle itself.
