Leagues Cup: Ten Liga MX teams eliminated after Matchday 2

The Leagues Cup 2026 group stage has seen significant movement, with mixed results for Liga MX clubs. Following the second matchday, ten Mexican teams have been eliminated from the competition. Leading the Mexican contingent are América, FC Juárez, Cruz Azul, and León, all of whom remain in contention for the quarter-finals.

Chivas Guadalajara faces a critical situation after a 1-0 defeat to FC Dallas. The loss, secured by a 73rd-minute goal from Logan Farrington, leaves the team with only one point from six possible. Manager Gabriel Milito expressed disappointment regarding the team's lack of scoring efficiency and defensive errors. Chivas's poor form extends to their broader season, having secured only four victories in their last 15 official matches.

Other Liga MX results include losses for Atlante, Toluca, Querétaro, Necaxa, Santos Laguna, Atlético de San Luis, and Xolos. In contrast, the MLS has shown strength, with teams like FC Dallas and Seattle Sounders securing important victories to advance or strengthen their positions.
