Player to watch: Angel Sepulveda
Despite scoring many goals in his debut season in Liga MX, Greek finisher Giorgos Giakoumakis was outscored by a sensational Angel Sepulveda. The latter bagged 11 goals for his club during the Apertura. He almost managed to outshine Paulinho of Toluca.
Second player to watch: Rivaldo Lozano
Lozano is the sort of player who can do it all – defend, score, and create. The right-back is performing steadily at the back, but he also recorded five goal contributions this season – two goals and three assists.
