San Nicolás de los Garza, N.L.- With a show of personality and determination to achieve a good result, Guadalajara earned a very valuable point in their visit to Tigres after a 1-1 draw this Saturday night at the Estadio Universitario, in a match on Matchday 5 of the Apertura 2024, which marked the return to action of El Rebaño in Liga MX.
In the first half of the match, goalkeeper Raúl Rangel was the key man for Chivas, saving a penalty kick taken by André-Pierre Gignac, while at the start of the second half, "Piojo" Alvarado put the team ahead, although Gignac did not forgive twice and scored a few minutes later.
This result allowed El Rebaño to reach 8 points after 5 matches played in the national championship. The next match will be on Saturday, August 30, against FC Juárez at the Akron Stadium.
