Orbelin Pineda scored in the first half and Omar Bravo added a second late on as Chivas clinched a place in the qualifying round of the Copa Libertadores with a 2-0 win over Veracruz in the 2016 edition of the SuperCopa MX.
The first half had seemed set to end goalles despite plenty of Chivas pressure, but Pineda forced his way into the box and fired a shot past Pedro Gallese to give Chivas the lead.
Veracruz soon started to click, though, and as they came forward, Julio Furch came within inches of equalizing the score from an effort inside the six-yard box.
