Chivas got one of their biggest wins ever as they defeated their main rival América by the two goals they need to advance to the final. They took advantage of a red card and incredible defensive moves from América’s coach, Fernando Ortiz. The win is historic for Chivas, who eliminate America and qualify to their first Liga MX final since 2017, when they won their last title against the same rival they will face this time, Tigres.
Weather conditions weren’t optimal to start the match, as it was raining in the Azteca. América came in from the start with Alejandro Zendejas while Chivas came out with a starting 9 in Ronaldo Cisneros.
