Chivas’ valiant effort wasn’t enough to save them from a 2-1 loss to 10-man Pachuca at the Estadio Chivas on Sunday night for the fourteenth match date of the 2016 Apertura.
The showdown was poised to showcase some of the best young Mexican talent in the Liga MX and lived up to the billing. With both teams comfortably in contention for Liguilla appearances, the match was a proper test of mettle for Matías Almeyda and company.
El Rebaño worked industriously throughout the game as they produced opportunity after opportunity, but had more difficulty finishing in front of goal more than anything.
