The UNAM Pumas thrashed the Guadalajara Estudiantes 5-1 on Sunday to remain the only undefeated team in the Mexican Clausura football championship after eight rounds.
Israel Castro opened the scoring in the 7th minute and Dario Veron found the net nine minutes later for Pumas. Javier Cortes extended the lead in 74th minute and Dante Lopez (83rd) and Carlos Orrantia (90th) got the other goals for Pumas, who took the overall lead in the standings with 18 points.
Tigres is one point behind on the standings, while Morelia is a further two points back after rallying for a 2-1 win over Atlante.
Also Sunday, America broke a two-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Toluca.
Israel Lopez scored from a header in the 69th for Estudiantes who suffered a fifth straight loss that might cost the job to manager Jose Luis Sanchez Sola.
''I think we were the better team in the second half, where we had three scoring chances but we could not convert them,'' Estudiantes defender Juan Carlos Leano said. ''But it's just like they said, 'the skinny dog gets the most fleas.'''
In Morelia, Christian Bermudez put Atlante ahead in the 49th minute, but Joel Huiqui equalized with a cross from Jaime Lozano in the 75th and Miguel Sabah got the winner for Morelia in the 81st.
Morelia has not lost since the first round and notched its third straight win.
In Estadio Azteca, Angel Reyna (43rd), Aquivaldo Mosquera (50th), Daniel Montenegro (53rd) and Vicente Sachez (68th) scored for America, which has 13 points in Group 2.
America had lost in Mexico against Necaxa and then Morelia, before going down to Argentinos Juniors in the Copa Libertadores on Thursday.
Argentine defender Diego Novaretti scored in the 52nd and 90th minutes and Osvaldo Gonzalez also scored for Toluca.
In other weekend matches it was: Necaxa 1, Santos 0; Jaguares 1, Chivas 0; Queretaro 1, Cruz Azul 1; Tigres 3, Puebla 0; Pachuca 0, San Luis 0; Atlas 1, Monterrey 0.
