Ghazl El Mahalla vs Haras El Hedood on 29 May
In Mexico, the total number of goals scored during the regular season is used to determine the champion of the scoring title, known as the "Campeón de Goleo." Unlike some other leagues, Mexico’s Liga MX does not include goals from the playoffs (Liguilla) in this tally. As a result, only goals from the Torneo Apertura and Torneo Clausura regular phases count toward the award.
This approach ensures that the scoring champion is recognized based solely on performance in the round-robin stage. The Liguilla, while crucial for deciding the overall league champion, serves a separate purpose. Therefore, a player could finish as the top scorer of the regular season without seeing his team advance far in the playoffs.
The system highlights the distinction between individual and team achievements in Mexican football. It also maintains a consistent and fair method for comparing offensive production across both short tournaments each season.
