Player to watch: Jose Paradela
We’d like to give a shoutout to Jose Paradela, who did his very best to keep the team in the race. Having contributed to eight Necaxa goals, Paradela is proving to be a valuable player for coach Nicolas Larcamon. Since the start of the race, he has scored three times and assisted on five occasions.
Second player to watch: Franco Fagundez
Fagundez is doing his best to help Santos Laguna escape the bottom of the pit. However, with only two goals to his name, he’d have to step up his game if Laguneros are to put up any sort of fight.
