Necaxa beat Cruz Azul, 3-2, and Monterrey, 3-2, to top Group A with six points. Tigres and Cruz Azul are both still in contention for the second berth. Club America and Jaguares lead Group B with four points apiece, two ahead of UAG. The first four doubleheaders drew crowds of 20,227 and 10,322 at Houston's Robertson Stadium and 13,180 and 14,376 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas.
The final group games will be played Tuesday and Wednesday in Carson, Calif. The top two teams in each of the two four-team groups advance to Saturday's finals, also at the Home Depot Center. The two winners then move in the Libertadores Cup. The winner with the most points in group play will qualify as Mexico's No. 2 entrant, moving into a group with Sao Paulo (Brazil), Audax Italiano (Chile) and Alianza Lima (Peru). The other InterLiga winner qualifies as Mexico 3 and will face Peru's Sporting Cristal in a play-in for a spot in the 32-team group stage.
