Jose Godinez fired Chivas into the lead but Oribe Peralta struck an equalizer five minutes later as Club America grabbed a 1-1 draw against Chivas in the Clasico Nacional.
Las Aguilas will rue their failure to capitalize on their second half dominance after a first half saw a nail-biting back-and-forth affair between the two Mexican giants.
From the start, it was Chivas who controlled possession, but Agustin Marchesin held firm, denying the hosts a pair of early opportunities.
Club America were far more direct, and they made efficient use of their breakaway opportunities, with Renato Ibarra forcing Rodolfo Cota to a good save just moments later.
