The Cantera Rojiblanca had a very positive morning today at Verde Valle, as both Guadalajara's U-18 and U-23 teams scored points against their counterparts from León, on Matchday 10 of the Clausura 2024. Below, we give you all the details of the Red and White youngsters' performance.
How did Chivas U18 do?
Sergio Pinto's team is unbeatable, as today they won their eighth win in the CL24 with a 2-0 victory over León. There is no stopping Guadalajara, which leads the circuit with 32 points from its 8 wins and only two losses, in addition to 8 extra points from the 11-pitch penalty spot.
The home side sealed their victory in the first half, first with a precise header from Diego Latorre, and then with a well-placed Juan Pablo Uribe, who took advantage of a rebound left by the León goalkeeper to simply push it into the box.
During the second half, they sought to extend their lead as their opponents broke away, but the timely defensive work of the Esmeraldas prevented a scandalous scoreline.

The Rebaño youth team experienced a game of upsets against the Emeralds, which resulted in a 3-goal draw, which gave the Rebaño their third consecutive match in the CL24 and moved them up to 13th place in the standings with 12 points.
Guadalajara took an early lead through Ariel Castro, who finished off a service from the left at 4'. Later on, León equalized with an unassailable shot by Román Almanza.

It was the 34th Chivas player who, with a precise lob, made it 3-2 for Chivas in stoppage time; however, an unfortunate play in the Guadalajara area opened the door for Juan Bernal to equalize in the last minute of the match.
