Mexico City. Given the closure of the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium and the Plaza de Toros México due to overcrowding and non-compliance with civil protection, the Liga Expansión Mx announced that the duel between Atlante and Jaiba Brava will change venue and time.
The match, which closes the regular phase of the tournament, was scheduled for this Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Noche Buena neighborhood stadium, but due to the conflict facing the venue, it was postponed to Monday at 10 a.m. in the Pumas quarry behind closed doors.

The mayor argued the closure because “there was an oversale of tickets and consequently the capacity was exceeded with risk to the safety of attendees.”
