The Jocotepec team took the lead in its group in the Jalisco Cup after securing a crucial away victory against Autlán de Navarro. With a 2-0 scoreline, the team earned three vital points in this Wednesday’s doubleheader, solidifying its position at the top of the table.
Currently, Jocotepec has 11 points, the same total as Villa Corona, while Autlán remains close behind with 10. The competition in Group 8 remains tight, with the top three teams separated by a narrow margin.
Adjustment to the Table: The lead was also bolstered by an administrative ruling issued on April 4 in Ayutla, after the match. Although Jocotepec won 4-2 on the field, the tournament’s regulatory committee detected an improper lineup by the home team. Consequently, Jocotepec was awarded the official victory with a score of 3-0, an adjustment that proved decisive in securing first place on goal difference.
Next Match Jocotepec’s next match will be at home. They will host Ejutla, a team currently in fifth place among the seven-team group. The home team is expected to capitalize on its winning streak to pull away from its closest pursuers.
