The tapatíos entered as second place in the competition with 29 units and now they want to end the long drought of titles.
The Camoteros del Puebla team entered the playoffs by finishing in seventh place after having had a good tournament.
Already in the play-off match, they left everything on the pitch. They fought until the last minute and managed to tie one of the favorites such as Chivas.
Those led by coach Larcamón reached the penalties and went to sudden death, with goalkeeper Antony Silva who saved the decisive penalty.
Santos Laguna was measured in the playoff game against Atlético San Luis and won by a score of 2-0.
In the match they were broad dominators and had no major problem getting their ticket to the next round.

The third Mexican team that got their pass to the league after having passed the playoffs are the Pumas UNAM.
The university students are motivated and went to the always complicated Nemesio Díez court to beat the Red Devils of Toluca 2-1.
One of the ‘black horses’ of the league are the Panzas Verdes del León. Coach Ariel Holan knew how to lead the team correctly and now they are among the broad candidates for the championship.
Another of the clubs that are favorites for the winter championship is Rayados de Monterrey. Those of the Sultana del Norte left everything in the field to impose authority on Cruz Azul and beat them by a 1-4 win.
Now, they will seek to take advantage of the fact that they are the most millionaire squad in the tournament to be able to get a new star.
The Tigers are another favorite club to lift the cup at the end of the year. In each tournament the felines have been one of the serious candidates for the title and this time it is no exception.
Because of their power in attack, and with the experience of coach Miguel ‘Piojo’ Herrera, they are one of the dangerous teams at the Fiesta Grande.
