TheCopa 2013 MX Apertura was the 70th staging of theCopa MX, the 43rd staging in the professional era and is the third tournament played since the1996–97 edition.
This tournament started on July 23, 2013, and concluded on November 5, 2013.[1][2] The winner faced the winner of the Clausura 2014 edition in a playoff to qualify as Mexico 3 to the2015 Copa Libertadores.[3]
Morelia won their first title after defeatingAtlas 3–1 on penalty kicks.[4]
This tournament will feature all the clubs from theLiga MX, excluding those that will participate in the2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League (Tijuana,Toluca,América andCruz Azul),[5] and all the teams from theAscenso MX, excluding the team promoted fromSegunda División (Ballenas Galeana).
If two or more clubs are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
Every group is composed by four clubs, two fromLiga MX and two fromAscenso MX. Instead of a traditional robin-round schedule, the clubs will play in three two-legged "rounds", the last one being contested by clubs of the same league.
Each win gives a club 3 points, each draw gives 1 point. An extra point is awarded for every round won; a round is won by aggregated score, and if it is a tie, the extra point will be awarded to the team with higher number of goals scored away.[1]
