MIGUEL's COMMENTS

Week five turned out to be pretty much predictable.  This week's action
started out at Mexico City's  Olimpic Stadium where the U.A.G. Owls got
a good tie with the young U.N.A.M. Pumas. This puts the Owls just below
Necaxa with 6 points.  Monterrey had an easy win turn out into a
complicated situation. Monterrey had a 3-0 lead with 15 minutes left
in the game until Santos scored two quick goals two make it close. Final
score was 3-2! Monterrey has 7 pionts to be at the top of the league.
 In Veracruz, the Red Sharks won pretty much easily 2-0
over Morelia. Argentinian Jorge Comas of Verzacruz is tied for the lead
in the individual scoring. Veracruz is tied for the lead in group one
with Atlante of Mexico City with 6 points.  One of this week's shockers
came in Guadalajara where the Black Lions of U. DE G. won convincingly
over the perrenial powerhouse CRUZ AZUL. The final score was 3-1 and
The BLUE MACHINE is in big trouble with only 4 points so far (AARRGGHH!!!).
Excuse me, going on, Pachuca finally ldalajara. Nevertheless, both
Pachuca and Guadalajara have 6 points and are in good shape.  In
Mexico City's Aztec Stadium, the Necaxa Lightning beat the America Eagles
1-0. In this game, Necaxa had only ten men, but still managed to beat
the Eagles and their star Hugo Sanchez. America is in deep trouble as
they lost their third game in a row. Atlante of Mexico City and Puebla
got a scoreless tie. In this week's upset, Toluca scored three goals in
a span of 2 minutes two beat the Atlas Foxes of Guadalajara 5-0!!  around
two games at home last season and they have already lost as many in 3 home
games. Worst yet, their only point at home was a scoreless tie with the
cinderella team of Pachuca. The last game was played by the U.A.N.L. Tigers
and the Farmers of Queretaro, won by the visiting Tigers 2-0. The only points
Queretaro has been able to get this season was a season opening win against
Mexico City's Cruz Azul (2-1). Well, that's all for this week and I'm looking
forward to this Saturday's matchup of Cruz Azul and Guadalajara, which has
turned out to be an intense rivalry in recent years.


ROGER's COMMENTS

        Well, finally the only undefeated team bites the dust. On
     Sunday, 'Chivas' host 'Tuzos' at Jalisco Stadium pitch, and
     beat them 2-0. Jose Luis Montes de Oca made the first one, and
     Manuel Martinez sealed 'Chivas' victory. But let us go to the
     beggining of the week. On Saturday, U.A.G. made the trip to
     Mexico City to meet U.N.A.M. Claudio Suarez, in an spectacular
     little dove 'palomita' opened the score. Unfortunately for
     the Cougars, Eduardo Medina scored on his own goal to give
     'Tecos' a valuable point. At 'jarocho' port, Carlos Miloc boys
     made all their fans so happy as they beat Morelia 2-0 with
     scoring of Jorge Comas, and Jose Serrizuela. 'Rayados' keep
     going up as they topped Santos 3-2. Eduardo Gardu~o and Ortega
     scored for Coahuila squad. Juan Antonio 'Zurdo' Flores Barrera,
     Porfirio Jimenez (ex-'cementero'), and Noriega made Monterrey
     goals. Saturday night at Jalisco Stadium, U. de G. toppled
     Cruz Azul 3-1. For the Black Lions, Octavio Mora scored twice,
     his first one on a penalty kick, and Higareda added one more.
     Carlos Hermosillo made 'Cementeros' only goal. I am glad we
     just could not afford sending Miguel Figueroa to report this
     game for us; otherwise it would have been a very, very long
     way back to San Antonio for Miguel. Anyway, Miguel is a pro and
     I am pretty sure he is not looking backwards anymore, but
     looking forward to meeting 'Chivas' next game and make them
     pay for the broken dishes. Well, what happened on Sunday?
     Oh, boy!! At Bombonera Stadium, Toluca stunned superleader
     Atlas 5-0!! Rogelio Romero made the opener. Jorge Rodriguez
     added two more. 'Guicho' Garcia made the fourth one, and
     Enrique 'Washington' Oliveira put the last nail on Foxes
     crave. At Mexico City, Necaxa humilliated oldest brother
     America and beat them 1-0. Why humilliated? Well, the Chargers
     played 2/3 of the game with ten players as Francisco Ramirez
     was sent off at the 30th minute of action. Despite of that,
     Necaxa managed to scored in a beautiful little dove header
     by Alex Aguinaga at the 55th minute. After that, all Eagles
     tries were unfruitfull, being stopped over and over. This
     was the third loss in a row for the Eagles. Leon went to Cd.
     Victoria, and beat the Roadrunners 2-1. Roberto Lopez opened
     the score. Alberto Coyote made it 2-0. Cesar Sosa scored for
     U.A.T. So far, the Roadrunners is the only winningless team.
     A milacre at Corregidora Stadium, Tigers visited Queretaro and
     guess what, they came up with a victory. Not even Tiger D.T.
     Francisco Avilan was able to believe that. Martin Casta~eda
     made the first one, and Francisco Javier "Grandpa" Cruz fi-
     nished the job over Tomas Boy squad. Finaly, Puebla host Atlan-
     te at the Heroes de Nacozari Stadium, in Hermosillo, Sonora!!!
     Tasteless 0-0 draw. So, the new superleader is the amazing
     Necaxa squad followed by Monterrey.
