The 2013 Liga MX Apertura is underway and with the early standings showing a tight race at the top, the upcoming matches will certainly have plenty at stake with each club looking to establish themselves moving forward.

Clausura champion Club America currently sits eighth in the standings with 4 points after enjoying a 3-0 win over Atlas along with a 1-1 draw with Leon. Only playing two matches thus far, there is still plenty of time for America to climb up the rankings, especially since the current leader Veracruz is only 6 points ahead.
