Chivas finished their group stage in the Copa por Mexico in the best way possible, defeating their city rivals Atlas 1-0 in a Clasico Tapatio. Chivas won all four of their matches and will now play the final of the Copa por Mexico on Friday when they face Cruz Azul. Chivas will also have the added boost of hosting the final at home, after Estadio Jalisco will not be used because of the poor field conditions.
The first half started with Chivas coming out with a young lineup, resting some starters for the final on Friday. Atlas came out with a closer starting 11 to their normal squad, especially since it was their final match in the tournament.
