How did fans and atmosphere react?
Even without a goal, Gilberto Mora’s “Moramanía” was felt in the stands, as 22 thousand fans filled the stadium.

What’s next for the Xolos?
Club Tijuana maintains an unbeaten run in the last four games (DDWW) and seeks to turn its dominance into wins. With the upcoming home match against Cruz Azul, the Xolos will try to boost their offensive record and cement their top‑table position. The pressure to stay ahead and the proximity of the playoff zone make every point crucial in the title chase.
Last result: Atlético San Luis 0‑0 Club Tijuana (2026‑08‑01).
