Chivas and Morelia played to a scoreless draw at the Estadio José Maria Morelos y Pavón on Saturday night for the 12th match date of the 2017 Clausura.
Returning from the international break, Matías Almeyda only had Orbelín Pineda to worry about pulling international duty, but gave him a spot in the starting 11 anyways. This did not last long, however, as Pineda was substituted in the 58th minute for Michael Pérez. The move paid dividends, as Chivas was able to get into a groove of position and produce opportunities at goal. Having Pérez enter the game helped stabilize the midfield and minimize turnovers, but still did not garner any results on the score sheet.
