Fernando Gago had a bitter return to Mexican soccer. In command of the Rays of Necaxathe Argentine strategist could not pass the regular phase in Apertura 2025. Gago once again has another questionable process.
The Rayos del Necaxa ended their participation in the Apertura with a draw during their visit to Mazatlán. This caused Gago’s team to end its participation in the 13th place in the general classification with 17 points. A victory would not change the club’s present. They were 4 points away from the play-offs.
Necaxa closed its participation in Apertura 2025 with two wins and two draws. How can a club that closed the last phase of the tournament very well be eliminated? The Rays only achieved one victory between matchday 4 and matchday 13 of the championship (7 losses).
Necaxa’s bad season takes on greater relevance when taking into account that in the previous season the club finished in 5th place in the general classification. The Rayos won 10 of their 17 games in Clausura 2025.
