COMMENTS

        Combining both its coming-from-behind home victory over
     Morelia, and Atlas' blow out at Nou Camp Stadium, U.N.A.M.
     became the second team to make the playoffs, joining the
     already qualified Atlante. Some other involved teams reduced
     their magic number as U.A.N.L., Morelia, and Atlas lost
     their respective games against Toluca, U.N.A.M., and Leon.

        In the other hand, Cd. Juarez got a bit closer to rele-
     gation as they suffered their third consecutive loss, this
     time at ITESM Stadium.
