The Liga MX Clausura 2026 Golden Boot race is heating up, with Atlético de San Luis’s Joao Pedro and Chivas’ Armando "Hormiga" González in a fierce battle for the top spot.
Joao Pedro has reclaimed the lead in the Liga MX Clausura 2026 top scorer race, netting his 11th goal in Atlético de San Luis’s victory over Monterrey. "Hormiga" González of Chivas is hot on his heels with 10 goals and had a recent opportunity against Pumas to close the gap.
González is not only focused on the Golden Boot but also on securing a place in the Mexican national team for the 2026 World Cup. A strong finish to the season could sway Javier Aguirre, the national team coach.
While González has proven his scoring ability against several Liga MX teams, including América, Atlas, and Monterrey, he is yet to find the net against Pumas, Cruz Azul, Tigres, Tijuana, Puebla, Necaxa and FC Juarez.
