Colombian striker Díber Cambindo continues to light up the Liga MX Clausura 2025 with his remarkable scoring prowess, tallying his ninth goal of the season during Necaxa's emphatic 3-1 victory over Mazatlán FC on February 22, 2025. This impressive achievement consolidates Cambindo's position as the tournament's top scorer, demonstrating his explosive form and pivotal role within the team.
The encounter at Estadio Victoria saw both teams engage fiercely, but it was Necaxa who took control early on. Just 30 minutes in, Argentine midfielder José Paradela put Necaxa on the scoreboard with a deft finish, capitalizing on a defensive miscue. The joy was short-lived, as moments before halftime, Mazatlán equalized through Jordan Sierra, who converted from close range after being set up by Nicolás Benedetti, leaving the teams tied 1-1 at the break.
After the intermission, Necaxa reasserted their dominance, with Alán Montes rising to the occasion. A well-executed corner taken by Colombian Johan Rojas found Montes, who launched himself to head the ball home, restoring Necaxa's lead at 2-1.
The game saw end-to-end action, but Mazatlán struggled to capitalize on their chances. Their best opportunity came late, but Argentine goalkeeper Luis Unsain thwarted their efforts to equalize with some remarkable saves. The final nail for Mazatlán came from the head of Cambindo, who, having just subbed on 34 minutes prior, sealed the deal with another header during stoppage time, ensuring the victory and strengthening his status as the tournament’s top scorer.
With this win, Necaxa now boasts six victories this season, moving to second place on the leaderboard with 18 points, just behind the league leaders León, who sit at 20 points. The talented crop of foreign players, particularly from Colombia, has significantly boosted the Mexican league's profile. Cambindo, who has swiftly made his mark after joining Necaxa, is set to be a central figure moving forward.
His reputation has exploded, giving rise to the nickname "O'Rei"—a nod to his rising star status as he continues to find the net effectively. His exploits have not gone unnoticed, with followers and analysts alike praising his contributions, which mark him as one of the standout performers of the campaign.
Notably, Cambindo's performance highlights not just personal excellence, but also the overall resurgence of his team under the guidance of head coach Nicolás Larcamón. With the squad performing consistently, the upcoming matches will be pivotal as they continue to chase León for top position.
Next on the schedule, Necaxa prepares to face Tigres, where eyes will certainly be on Cambindo as he aims to continue his scoring streak. The excitement surrounding the Colombian talents, particularly Cambindo and fellow compatriot James Rodríguez of León, speaks to the growing allure of Liga MX for players from Colombia, making the league more competitive and engaging for fans.
It's thrilling times for fans of Necaxa and the Liga MX at large as these athletes continue to secure their place on the pitch, with Cambindo leading the charge with his remarkable scoring ability.
