FC Juárez heads to Estadio Libertad Financiera on Friday to face Atlético de San Luis in Jornada 16 of the Apertura 2026, with kickoff set for 6:00 pm Ciudad Juárez time and 7:00 pm central Mexico time. The match will be played in San Luis Potosí and shown in Mexico on and Disney +.
The timing matters because Juárez arrives with momentum after a 3-1 home win over Gallos Blancos de Querétaro, while San Luis is trying to rebound from a 0-1 home loss to Atlas. Óscar Estupiñán was part of that win over Querétaro, along with Madson Monteiro and José Luis Rodríguez, and his name carries extra weight here: he scored the late winner in Juárez's last visit to San Luis Potosí.
That trip ended 1-2 and locked in FC Juárez's place in the Fase Final of the Apertura 2025, which is why this return has a sharper edge than a routine league date. Juárez is trying to string together another result, but it is doing it away from home against a side that will not need much reminding that the last meeting in San Luis Potosí slipped out of its hands at the end.
So Friday is more than a calendar marker for both clubs. It is a test of whether Juárez can carry its current form into another difficult road match, and whether San Luis can use its own ground to blunt the same opponent that turned its last visit into a season-shaping win.
