2012 Primera División de México Clausura Liguilla

Teams

In a change from previous seasons, the 18 teams in the 2012 Clausura were not divided into three groups of six teams each. Instead, the eight best teams in the general table qualified for the competition.

Bracket

The eight qualified teams play two games against each other on a home-and-away basis. The winner of each match up is determined by aggregate score.

The teams were seeded one to eight in quarterfinals, and will be re-seeded one to four in semifinals, depending on their position in the general table. The higher seeded teams play on their home field during the second leg. |RD1-team1= Santos Laguna |RD1-seed1= 1 |RD1-score1-1= 4 |RD1-score1-2= 2 |RD1-score1-agg= 6 |RD1-team2= Chiapas |RD1-seed2= 8 |RD1-score2-1= 3 |RD1-score2-2= 1 |RD1-score2-agg= 4 |RD1-team3= Morelia |RD1-seed3= 4 |RD1-score3-1= 0 |RD1-score3-2= 1 |RD1-score3-agg= 1 |RD1-team4= UANL |RD1-seed4= 5 |RD1-score4-1= 1 |RD1-score4-2=4 |RD1-score4-agg= 5 |RD1-team5= Monterrey |RD1-seed5= 2 |RD1-score5-1= 2 |RD1-score5-2= 2 |RD1-score5-agg= 4 |RD1-team6= Tijuana |RD1-seed6= 7 |RD1-score6-1= 1 |RD1-score6-2= 2 |RD1-score6-agg= 3 |RD1-team7= América |RD1-seed7= 3 |RD1-score7-1= 3 |RD1-score7-2= 0 |RD1-score7-agg= 3 |RD1-team8= Pachuca |RD1-seed8= 6 |RD1-score8-1= 1 |RD1-score8-2= 1 |RD1-score8-agg= 2 |RD2-team1= Santos Laguna |RD2-seed1= 1 |RD2-score1-1= 1 |RD2-score1-2= 2 |RD2-score1-agg= 3 |RD2-team2= UANL |RD2-seed2= 5 |RD2-score2-1= 1 |RD2-score2-2= 2 |RD2-score2-agg= 3 |RD2-team3= Monterrey |RD2-seed3= 2 |RD2-score3-1= 0 |RD2-score3-2= 2 |RD2-score3-agg= 2 |RD2-team4= América |RD2-seed4= 3 |RD2-score4-1= 0 |RD2-score4-2= 0 |RD2-score4-agg= 0 |RD3-team1= Santos Laguna |RD3-seed1= 1 |RD3-score1-1=1 |RD3-score1-2=2 |RD3-score1-agg=3 |RD3-team2= Monterrey |RD3-seed2= 2 |RD3-score2-1=1 |RD3-score2-2=1 |RD3-score2-agg=2

• If the two teams are tied after both legs, the higher seeded team advances.
• Both finalists qualify to the 2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League Group Stage. Note that Santos are already qualified to 2012-13 Champions League as the runners-up of the Apertura, and as they win the Clausura final, they earn the spot given to the Clausura Champion and relinquish the spot for the Apertura Runner-up to Guadalajara, the best record of the 2011 Apertura not already qualified.
