Chivas pulled off a surprising 2-1 win over Leon on Saturday, ending their record-breaking winning streak at 12 games. Chivas took a defensive approach, but it proved successful against a Leon team that was never comfortable on the pitch and got weighed down by their streak. Chivas will now have a tougher test in their last game of the regular season when they face Tigres away in Monterrey, while Leon will try to close out the season as they eye the playoffs against their “brothers” Pachuca.
From the start, it looked like the 6 x 1 ticket sale helped stop a Leon “invasion” because, although there were a lot of away fans, it looked like a bigger crowd of Chivas supporters compared to the past games in Guadalajara.
