Chivas played 90 minutes of great soccer, as they overwhelmed the Red and Blacks at various times and clearly outplayed them, with which the Rebaño won 1-0 the Sky Cup Clasico Tapatio played this Tuesday night at the Estadio Jalisco and ended the group stage of this preparation tournament undefeated.
What's next for El Guadalajara? They will have to face Cruz Azul in the Grand Final, which will be played this Friday at 8 p.m. at the Estadio Akron.
The winning goal
- At 39', the Chiverío took the lead thanks to a great play that ended with a brilliant finish, after Alan Mozo closed towards the center of the field and filtered inside the box to Lalo Torres, who received the ball with his back to the goal, controlled the ball, turned to shake off his marker, face the goalkeeper and shoot a cannon ball that went into the net.
The ones that got away:
- At 6' Luis Puente sent in a cross that Bouquet came within a whisker of heading in, but Abella denied.
- At 15', El Pollo Briseño burst his header against the crossbar, after heading in a corner kick.
- At 31', Pável Pérez tried his luck with a free kick from mid-distance, but the defense deflected it to a corner.
- At 46', 'Tala' Rangel was in form with a couple of point-blank saves; first, he made a two-handed save on a shot by Márquez and then, on the rebound, he kept hold of Furch's header.
- At 51', 'Pollo' appeared again to head in a corner kick, but the ball went just wide.
- At 56', 'Oso' González drove down field with a controlled ball, and on reaching the final third, was supported by Pérez Bouquet, who cut back to his marker and, upon entering the area, shot, but the goalkeeper deflected the ball with his fingertips.
- At 57', Pável Perez left his marker seeing visions and then put in a cross to the heart of the area that 'Lalo' Torres shot on the run, but went over the goal.
- At 74', Alejandro Mayorga got a give and go from 'Nene' Beltrán and put in a cross into the six-yard box that Ormeño shot, but just wide.
- At 90'+6', Fernando Beltrán had time and space to take a shot from the edge of the box that crashed into the right post, impossible to save despite the goalkeeper's effort.
