Soccer-Chivas move top in Mexico after 1-1 draw with America

MEXICO CITY, April 26 (Reuters) - Guadalajara fought back to salvage a 1-1 home draw against America on Sunday, reclaiming top spot in the Clausura championship after the "clasico" between Mexico's two biggest clubs ended in a stalemate.

Winger Paul Aguilar put the title-holding America Eagles in front with a rasping long-range effort into the top corner after a quarter of an hour and substitute Aldo De Nigris equalised for the Chivas in the 63rd minute at the Omnilife.

"Happy with the effort we made, America are a dangerous team who surprised us but we didn't drop our heads and that's something that has characterised us all tournament long," De Nigris told Televisa.
