Guadalajara's tremendous performance in the Clásico Tapatío did not go unnoticed, as in addition to handing the Rojinegros a 4-1 defeat, it left very high collective and individual marks, positioning it as the best team of Matchday 15 of the 2025 Apertura. In addition, Gabriel Milito's team received some other accolades, which we will tell you about below.
Guadalajara voted best team of Matchday 15
We'll start with the collective, as Liga MX voted the Rebaño Sagrado the best team of Matchday 15, thanks to its victory over its archrival and becoming the team with the highest goal difference of the matchday. In addition, it managed to position itself in sixth place in the overall standings with 23 points. As if that weren't enough, Guadalajara won five of its last six games.
Armando González, Efraín Álvarez, and Luis Romo, among the ideal 11 of week 15.
Thanks to their outstanding performance against the Rojinegros, these three Rojiblancos were included in the best 11 of matchday 15.
• La Hormiga scored a hat trick, making him the third-highest scorer in the tournament with 10 goals. He also became the first Chivas player to score against América, Pumas, and Atlas in the same short tournament. After this, the Rebaño striker earned recognition as the best player of the matchday.
• Luis Romo scored the second goal of the match and gave a masterclass in how to defend as the last man. As if that weren't enough, as usual, the Sinaloa native was one of the main pillars in the construction of the Rojiblanco's game.
• Efraín Álvarez played as a left midfielder and led the way by assisting the first goal. The Rebaño Sagrado's number 10 once again put on a show as one of the team's main creative forces, appearing in the first passes and also between the lines to hurt Atlas. After this assist, Álvarez reached 4 in the AP25.
Gabriel Milito, the best coach of week 15.
The Chiverío strategist earned this recognition not only for his extraordinary work throughout the tournament, but also for the great approach shown in the Clásico Tapatío. Under his leadership, we saw an aggressive Rebaño Sagrado that was able to suffocate their opponents in any area of the field. Thanks to his good performance on the bench, Guadalajara is now a team with a defined playing style that seeks to be proactive from start to finish.
Raúl Rangel made the best save of Matchday 15.
In the 46th minute of the match, 'Tala' made a spectacular two-handed save when, following a free kick, Adrián Mora sent a header towards the post, which was well saved by the Rojiblanco goalkeeper with a spectacular dive. Rangel is currently the fifth goalkeeper with the most saves in the tournament, with 42.
