Pauno's Chivas are getting used to winning. 2 out of 2 for the Rebaño in AP23, tonight they defeated Atlético San Luis 3-1 at the Akron Stadium, with a performance that confirms their identity in two ways: the play style under the Serbian DT and the fact of using homegrown material, as they maintain their average of 10 youth division players per match, which was the case all last semester and in the first two rounds of this competition has not been the exception.
Yael Padilla, who scored for the second consecutive match, 'Nene' Beltrán and Ronaldo Cisneros added to Guadalajara's victory; in addition, 'Wacho' Jiménez had 3 outstanding saves in vital moments of the match. Guadalajara showed a large part of its offensive and defensive repertoire, with dynamics, high pressing, constant mobility and tactical precision, as well as a very palpable sense of teamwork in individual intentions.
The goals:
- El Rebaño opened the scoring at 37', 'Nene' sent a cross from the right to the far post, 'Chicote' won high and headed back, Marín let the ball go by and Yael took advantage to connect with a right-footed shot that went in close to the post.
- Yael controlled the ball on the left side of the box, waited for the pass from 'Chicote', who reached the back line and sent a diagonal that Marín let pass for 'Nene' to shoot as he came to put the scoreboard at 2-0.
- In added time, Unai Bilbao reduced the distance via penalty, deceiving Miguel Jimenez with a shot to the right.
- The goal that brought calm came at 80', when Ronaldo Cisneros took a rebound at the halfway line and fired a shot that hit the post before entering the visitors' goal.
The dangerous ones:
- At 4' Marín overflowed down the left, reached the line and sent a low cross to the far post, where 'Pocho' Guzmán arrived, who took a first-time shot and the goalkeeper denied the shot.
- At 16', Villalpando made himself comfortable with his left foot on the edge of the area and fired a cross-shot that 'Wacho' deflected correctly.
- At 29', Chiquete recovered a ball near the midfield, advanced a few meters and shot with his left foot, but his shot passed close to the left post.
- At 33', the visitors mounted a counterattack with Jhon Murillo and Vitinho, which culminated in a low shot by the former, which 'Wacho' saved spectacularly by diving to his left.
- At 58', Chivas again came close, Cone sent in a cross from the right that Ricardo Marín finished off with a header that went over the top.
- At 64', Jesús Brígido sent in a cross from the left flank, Alan Mozo appeared alone on the right wing and came close to scoring a goal, as he volleyed the ball just over the crossbar.
