Matias Almeyda works around Chivas' limitations to deliver first-leg win over Toronto

The Guadalajara side was weakened by suspensions and injuries but still heads home with the advantage thanks, in part, to the Argentine manager

Matias Almeyda sat before the press in Toronto and delivered a much more low-key news conference than the one the Canadian press had received previously from America manager Miguel Herrera.

The Argentine sounded more like a salesman excited to get off the road for a few days than a soccer manager.

It's been a brutal stretch for Chivas involving travel to New York and back before going to Tijuana and straight on to frigid Toronto.
