Chivas cemented their place on top of the leaderboard after defeating Necaxa by a 2-0 score. They’ve won all three matches played so far and were the superior team in their victory against Necaxa Thursday night. The rare Thursday match was moved up so that Chivas could play a friendly against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, but Chivas were still able to get the result and will remain in 1st place as they begin their Liga MX break for the participation in the Leagues Cup.
The match started with a good left-footed shot from outside the area by Bryan Garnica that went right to Jimenez.
