Morelia moved three points clear at the top of the Clausura thanks to a 3-1 home win over fellow high-flyer Club America.
Christian Valdez set the host on its way with a thrilling opening goal in the eighth minute, rifling a 25-yard strike into the top left corner and giving goalkeeper Moises Munoz little chance.
And it was 2-0 after 20 minutes when Miguel Sabah turned the ball in from close range after Joel Huiqui's deflected shot came back off the crossbar.
Club America cut into the lead when Christian Benitez ended a goalmouth scramble with a five-yard finish in the 31st minute, the ball trickling over the line.
But Morelia regained its two-goal cushion after 70 minutes, Lozano Espin clinical with a penalty.
Morelia has 26 points from 12 games, with Santos Laguna second on 23 points after 11 games, and Club America still third.
