Atlante will seek a second win of the Apertura 2026 season when it visits Atlas on Saturday, Sept. 5. The seventh-round match is scheduled for 9 p.m. Central Mexico time and will be shown on ViX Premium, TUDN, Canal 5 and Layvtime on YouTube.

The challenge is significant. Atlas sit fourth in the overall standings with 12 points, while Atlante occupy 15th place after collecting six points from three draws, two defeats and one victory.

Atlante returned to Mexico’s top division with a team that coach Miguel Herrera says is still taking shape. The Potros de Hierro have also gone three league matches without a win and need greater efficiency if they are to challenge for qualification to the playoffs.

What concerns us is that we are not being clinical. We have to improve that. A third of the way through the tournament, the points we have are not enough for anything. It does not help us to play well if the points do not allow us to fight for a place in the qualification.

“What concerns us is that we are not being clinical. We have to improve that. A third of the way through the tournament, the points we have are not enough for anything. It does not help us to play well if the points do not allow us to fight for a place in the qualification,” Herrera said at a news conference.

“ We are a team under construction. We are not that far away, but we have to win,” Herrera concluded. Atlante’s six points leave little margin for another setback as the club tries to correct its course.
