Tijuana, B.C.- Guadalajara had a great second half, dominating the pace of the match and explosive in attack, however, they lacked the finishing touch to finish off the match and ended up drawing 1-1 with Xolos this Friday night at the Estadio Caliente, in Matchday 3 of the Clausura 2024.
Chivas have little time to work on their next match, as this Tuesday they host Toluca at the Akron Stadium.
