Alexis Vega withdrew from the field on a stretcher due to injury and the herd could not face 10 soccer players from San Luis Potosí
Guadalajara took a bitter goalless draw against Atlético de San Luis, despite having numerical superiority for 75 minutes and having control of the ball for much of the match.
The team led by Veljko Paunović faded as the game progressed and what seemed to be a second victory for the Serbian coach ended up turning into a lackluster performance and with many doubts in the offensive action as he lacked forcefulness, nor shot from goal.
The highlight for Guadalajara in the first half was lived in the first minutes with a free kick from Alexis Vega. The home defense opened up and caused Marcelo Barovero to cover the ball over the goal line.
Atlético de San Luis was left with 10 elements just 15 minutes into the action due to a foul by Juan Manuel Sanabria on Jesús Sánchez, who in the fight for the ball managed to touch the knee of the element from Guadalajara. This caused the action to be reviewed by VAR and the whistler decided to admonish the footballer, who previously had a yellow card and with this he was sent to the locker room.
The numerical superiority of the people from Guadalajara caused them to have greater command of the game against the home team, but they were not able to reflect that control in the electronic, since they did not manage a single shot on goal in the direction of goal during the last half hour of the first half.
With problems, the Guadalajara team tried to reach the goal and Ronaldo Cisneros was close to the first goal with a low shot that was close to surprising Barovero, but the Argentine goalkeeper planted his knee and prevented the rival’s first goal, while Atlético tried to reach to the opposite field through individual actions and long balls.
Jardine’s men were close to giving the bell with an action by Vitinho, who passed between Alejandro Mayorga and Fernando Beltrán and took a mid-distance shot that went just past the side of the goal, which caused the fans to scream drowned goal.
Chivas was outclassed in the last 20 minutes of the game. Atlético de San Luis began to have individual and dangerous actions that put pressure on the rival defenses and goalkeeper Miguel Jiménez had to start moving to prevent his goal from falling.
In the last action of the game, the rojiblanco team was close to obtaining the three points with a corner kick that ended in a second play for Alex Mayorga, who scored with a header, but referee Daniel Quintero signaled the offside.
Chivas took a 0-0 draw at home and with a style of play that can begin to generate criticism for their decisions when making changes and failing to prevail as a visitor.
The bad news for Chivas came at minute 54, when Alexis Vega came out due to injury and with tears in his eyes, without knowing the severity, one of the most important elements of the herd withdrew.
