The week that just concluded in Liga MX felt like the week of the visitor because there were several impressive away results obtained by several clubs. Chivas, Morelia, Leon and Tijuana's away wins were the main highlights of Week 8. Chivas, the league's defending champions, finally got their first win of the season and are ready to compete for a Liguilla place in the upcoming weeks.

Chivas are yet to win in the Apertura and are going through a bit of a crisis. Refereeing decisions certainly...

It might not jump out as the game of the weekend, but Saturday's home match for reigning champion Chivas comes after a difficult week, with the 4-1 loss to Monterrey last weekend having put into sharp focus the club's problems so far this season.
