dailyloe.com – Joao Pedro leads the Liga MX Clausura 2026 scoring chart after matchday 13. The Italian-Brazilian striker scored for Atlético de San Luis in a 2-1 win over Monterrey. His goal brought his season total to 11.
He is now a strong candidate to win back-to-back scoring titles. Pedro previously won the golden boot in the Apertura 2025 tournament. Mexican forward Armando ‘Hormiga’ González trails closely with 10 goals.
Gonzalez’s team, Chivas, is set to play Pumas this Sunday. A strong performance could see him reclaim the top spot. Kevin Castañeda also scored his sixth goal for Tijuana against Tigres.
He is now tied with three-time scoring champion Joao Paulo ‘Paulinho’ Dias. Paulinho failed to score for Toluca in their 1-0 loss to Querétaro. The race for the ‘Pichichi’ trophy remains highly competitive.
The Liga MX is Mexico’s top professional football division. The Clausura tournament is the second half of the annual season. It typically runs from January to May each year.
Other key results from matchday 13 included Necaxa’s 2-1 win over Mazatlán. Puebla and FC Juárez played to a 1-1 draw on Friday. The matchday concludes with Sunday’s clash between Chivas and Pumas.[]
