Chivas came back from a disappointing first half to strike first and grab a 1-0 win over rival America in the first leg of the Liguilla Quarterfinals. Although Chivas had started as the better team, they were soon dominated by America and were lucky not to be trailing before some key substitutions turned the tide and gave Chivas the possession to get the win. Chivas is now in prime position to go through with the win and with America not getting an away goal, which means that a Chivas away goal on Saturday could do a lot of damage to America’s chances to get to the Semifinals.
