With goals from Orbelin Pineda late in the first half and Omar Bravo in the 92nd minute, Chivas defeated Veracruz 2-0 to win the 2016 edition of the SuperCopa MX. The victory is not only the second trophy won in the Almeyda Era, but it also guarantees Chivas will be in a qualifying playoff for a spot in the upcoming Copa Libertadores.
From the onset of the match, Chivas was the aggressor pushing the ball up and pressing Veracruz' backline. However, it wasn't until right before halftime when Orbelin Orbelin took measures into his own hands (or feet), and after evading two defenders and an exchange with Angel Zaldivar, he knocked in a loose ball to give Chivas the lead heading into the break.
