Postgame Observations: “Avion” Takes off as Chivas Defeat Monterrey at Home

Thanks to a great one-touch volley shot from Nestor “El Avion” Calderon, Chivas won their first game of the season in front of their home crowd. The victory had tremendous implication for a team that entered the match with a lot of pressure. Not only did this win relieve Almeyda of the stress to acquire this season’s first victory, a feat he didn’t get until week 9 last season, but it also gave the team three points and got Chivas TV started on the right foot. The club’s online channel televised the first game of the season in Mexico, and for the most part, it went off without a hitch.
