Edyairth Ortega scored the only goal on Friday as Atlas earned 1-0 victory over rivals Chivas in Rafa Marquez’s last Clasico Tapatio ahead of retirement.
It was an emotional occasion for the Atlas captain, who received a pre-game tifo from the home fans as a tribute for his 22-year career.
It didn’t take long for the Rojinegros to open the scoring, and 40 seconds into the match, Milton Caraglio set up an almost perfect cross for Edyairth Ortega to fire in the breakthrough.
Tactically, Chivas’s approach was limited due to the fact that they were resting the majority of their starters.
