Pachuca brought Chivas back to reality with a 3-1 victory at the Estadio Chivas on Saturday.
The Rojiblancos had arrived to this match on a run of three straight Liga MX victories, while the Tuzos came on the back of four straight without a defeat.
It was the Tuzos who took an early lead on just nine minutes when Chivas’s defense failed to deal with a free kick from the right-hand side and Franco Jara was there to poke home the breakthrough.
Chivas, though, leveled the score twenty minutes later when Eduardo “La Chofis” Lopez’s cross was mishandled but deflected into the path of Angel Zaldivar, who slammed in the equalizer.
