Chivas 2016 Clausura in review: What went right and what went wrong?

With another Clausura in the books for Chivas, it’s time to assess what worked and what didn’t for El Rebaño Sagrado. While the season got off to a rocky start and ended in painful defeat, fans can look back on this Clausura and take solace in that there were signs of long-term improvement for the team.

With the influx of new talent such as Orbelin Pineda and Carlos "Gullit" Peña, fans entered the season with high hopes. Unfortunately, they had to sit through six draws and two losses prior to savoring their first victory of the tournament. After that mediocre run, Chivas would go on a tear to end the season with the fifth seed in the Liguilla.
