Aguascalientes.- Guadalajara tried every possible way, especially in the final stretch of the match, but lacked the finishing touch and ended up with a scoreless draw against Necaxa in their Matchday 16 clash of the Clausura 2026. The result gives them a valuable point to reach 35 and remain firmly on track to finish the regular season as league leaders.
Both teams’ approach in the first half was very clear, with the home side sitting deep in their own half, looking to create danger through quick transitions, while Guadalajara showcased its quality on the ball to dominate possession and generate several dangerous chances, though without the precision needed to open the scoring.
Now, Guadalajara must turn the page and focus on the final stretch of the tournament, as they will host Xolos de Tijuana this Saturday, April 25, at Estadio AKRON.
