Regular Season statistics

Liguilla

The eight best teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, if the two teams are tied on aggregate and on away goals, the higher seeded team advances.[11] In the final, if the two teams are tied after both legs, the match goes to extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shoot-out.
