Chivas earned only their second ever Clásico Nacional victory at the Estadio Chivas as Angel Zaldivar’s first half penalty earned the Rebaño 1-0 victory over rivals Club America on Saturday.
Las Aguilas were in considerable need of a boost after starting the Clausura 2017 with three defeats in six games, but they found themselves on the back end early.
30 minutes into the first half, Alan Pulido wiggled his way inside the box. Pablo Aguilar was unable to react quickly, catching Pulido with his right foot and giving the referee no choice but to call a penalty.
