Zapopan.- Chivas is already in Liguilla, the suffering it experienced every week is finally over. His most recent pearl, Yael Padilla, showed him the way. El Rebaño arrived at the last minutes of a sleepy match against Cruz Azul with lost hope, the only one he did not stop believing was the cheeky number 207. The mischief that has characterized him led him to make a great play. The kid cut off two cement center backs and scored with a bit of luck, the ball surpassed Gudiño and moved the red and white team to the final stages.
The one who will not continue is Cruz Azul, which although mathematically has minimal possibilities, Sunday’s results could leave it eliminated one week before the end of the championship. What a failure!
The game at Akron was tense from the start of the match. Neither Chivas nor Cruz Azul could lose, that would condition their arrival in the Liguilla. Veljko Paunovic had to manage to show a competitive team with the multiple absences he had. Joaquín Moreno pondered the defensive order and let his two sprinters, Uriel Antuna and Cuate Sepúlveda, do their thing against the Guadalajara defense.
The Machine accelerated thanks to the inspired Antuna. The 7 cement worker showed his audacity in the face of boos from a venue that previously applauded him and now repudiates him. He made a mistake in a cut and the claim did not take long.
Chivas had its best player in Oso González. Rubén controlled the balls, gave in with vision and almost scored the first with a shot that Gudiño took out with one hand. Guadalajara couldn’t do much, the break came.
The complement had a similar rhythm. The fight in the middle of the field was the characteristic of the duel. Chivas was the one that proposed the most, while Cruz Azul, already with Moisés Vieira and Diber Cambindo on the field, appealed to counterattacks.
The breath of fresh air that the red and white team needed came with a three-digit number. Yael Padilla entered and immediately put the defense in trouble. In a vertical play, he took out up to three light blues, Salcedo managed to sweep him to avoid the goal.
Nothing worked for Chivas, it seemed that Cruz Azul would take a point, but Pocho escaped with the score on the scoreboard. Guzmán saw the boy in the area, although Padilla showed that he can be the next rojiblanco reference. The reception was perfect, he cut back as a necessary luxury to get the ball to his dominant leg and took a shot that Gudiño couldn’t take after a deflection. Chivas goal!
Adonai Escobedo’s whistle ended the contest. Akron lived with the classification of its team, while Cruz Azul was eliminated.
