El fútbol mexicano es generoso de eso no hay duda, este torneo de Copa MX sirve para darnos cuenta de que el nivel entre la primera división A o liga de Ascenso como se le llama ahora contra la primera división nacional es muy cercano.
El actual campeón Dorados de Sinaloa buscara retener su titulo y los equipos de la Liga MX deberán de mostrar su valía en la cancha.
Una de las máximas de las águilas del America el futbolista Cuauhtémoc Blanco dio sus pronósticos para este torneo de fútbol mexicano edición Clausura 2013. el actual delantero de Dorados de Sinaloa manifestó lo siguiente en su columna semanal del sitio terra:
"Han pasado ya dos jornadas del Clausura 2013 y aunque aún es muy temprano para mencionar favoritos, creo que Cruz Azul, Tijuana y América son los que parecen estar en mejor forma para afrontar este torneo, sin olvidar también a los equipos de Monterrey, Rayados y Tigres", indicó Blanco en su espacio.
La Femexfut ha sacado una nueva modalidad de torneo, se llama la Copa México en la cual equipos
de liga de Ascenso antes Primera A enfrentaran a equipos de primera división, muy al estilo de la
copa del Rey española. En total son 28 equipos y así han quedado.
En la Fase de Grupos serán seis partidos de ida y vuelta con modalidad de llave y al ganador de
la llave se le asignará un punto adicional y los primeros clasificados jugarán Octavos de Final a
un sólo partido.
"La fiera" ,"Los panzas verdes" , "los esmeraldas" , ya están de nuevo en el máximo circuito
del fútbol mexicano. 10 años tuvieron que pasar para que la ciudad de León Guanajuato fuera de
primera una vez mas.
Cinco ocasiones los aficionados corearon los goles hasta morir, los goles fueron de Carlos Alberto
Peña al minuto 17, Luis Humberto Nieves al 21, Eder Pacheco al 44 y Hernán Darío Burbano a los
minutos 70 y 76, los dirigidos por Gustavo Matosas tuvieron que recibir su única derrota en la
final partido de ida contra Correcaminos, 2 goles a 1 fue el marcador en Tamaulipas.
