TheCopa 2014 MX Clausura was the 71st staging of theCopa MX, the 44th staging in the professional era and is the fourth tournament played since the1996–97 edition.
This tournament started on January 14, 2014, and concluded on April 9, 2014.[1][2] The winner was Tigres and he was scheduled to faceMonarcas Morelia, who won theApertura 2013 edition, in a home-to-home series on July 9 and 12 to qualify as Mexico 3 to the2015 Copa Libertadores.[3]
This tournament featured the clubs from theLiga MX who did not participate in the2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League (Tijuana,Toluca,América andCruz Azul),[4] and the teams who participated in the2014 Copa Libertadores (León,Santos Laguna andMorelia) did not participate as well. The first 13Ascenso MX teams in the classification phase during the Apertura 2013 season participated.[5]
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]
