Cancún, Quintana Roo November 15, 2023.- The regular phase of the 2023 Apertura Tournament of the MX Expansion League is behind us. Now comes the good part, the most important part of the campaign: the Liguilla and Cancún FC will seek to maintain the winning momentum that elevated it to the leadership.

The Iguanas will draw their first final phase without winning the Play-In (NBA-style play-off), as happened with their current rival, Venados FC, which left Club Atlético La Paz on the way, despite the fact that, had lost their tie against Atlético Morelia.

During 15 days, the Caribbean team had nine wins, one draw, four losses, 26 goals for, 15 against (+11 their difference) and 28 points, positioned in first place.

“We are very happy and motivated because the 'Fiesta Grande', the Liguilla, is coming, and we all want to be there. The important thing about all this is to enjoy it to the fullest, to do it like the season,” said José Juan 'Gallito' Vázquez.

The 35-year-old World Cup winner in Brazil 2014 was the undisputed starter in the team led by the professor, Luis Arce. He accumulated all the minutes (1,245), establishing himself as the player with experience and leadership.

“Step by step we are going to achieve important things. "We have to be focused, attentive to what the coach asks of us, but mainly, do it with a lot of humility to be able to transcend, to have our feet firmly on the ground," he said.

In its previous participation in the Quarterfinals (Clausura 2022), with the then coach, Federico Vilar, the team competed in the Reclassification, after beating Alteños de Tepatitlán. Already in the Liguilla, the Atlético Celaya Bulls would eliminate the Caribbean team.

The squad led by Rafael Fernández became the 'eighth passenger', thanks to their victory (1-0) in the Play-In against Club Atlético La Paz at the 'Carlos Iturralde Rivero' stadium.

The Yucatecans will face the Iguanas for the first time in a final phase. The immediate precedent between the two in this semester dates back to the second day, Saturday, July 29 at the 'Andrés Quintana Roo' stadium, when the Caribbean imposed conditions (2-1) with a double from Alfonso Tamay.

So far, in seven games, three in the 'Carlos Iturralde', the deer have won two (2-1 in the Clausura 2021 and 1-0 in the Clausura 2022) in exchange for a draw (1-1 in the Clausura 2023). .

This year, the people of Cancun came out well against their regional rival, since in the Apertura 2023, they won the victory (2-1), in 'paradise'.
