Irapuato opened their Primera Premier campaign with a 2:1 win against Los Cabos United on Saturday night. The hosts claimed all three points in the opening round, while their visitors started the season on the wrong foot. By then, both sides carried different baggage into this fixture.
Irapuato sit fourth after one game, three points and one victory. Los Cabos occupy eleventh place with nothing to show from their first outing. The gap between them is already visible in the table, though the season has barely begun.
Looking at recent form, Irapuato have been competitive. They drew 0:0 with Mineros de Zacatecas in their last meeting before that, and had a 2:1 win against Tapatío before the break. Los Cabos, meanwhile, lost 0:2 to Tigres de Alisia in their previous outing and drew 0:0 with Tecos before that. To be fair, both sides had mixed results before this round.
The result means Irapuato move into the upper reaches of the table, while Los Cabos will need to regroup quickly. One game in and the standings tell a story, even if it is early to say much. The visitors will want to find answers before the next fixture.
