Puebla was able to come back from the momentum hit of a late goal in injury time from Chivas that tied the match at 1-1 and forced penalties, getting a win 5-4 in the shootout. It was a hard fought match that at times was controversial, but Chivas was able to get the injury time score and although both teams stepped up in the shootout, the home team was able to continue on in the playoffs. The wins give Puebla the quarterfinal ticket against America, something that Liga MX and network television probably didn’t want as a Chivas win would have meant a Superclasico against America, the biggest match in Mexican football.
