The fans of the Sacred Flock made themselves heard by chanting the name of their team, although the American fans did not remain silent either and did the same with their club. Despite being visitors, the rojiblancos were not intimidated and proposed a game in which they sought from the beginning the goal guarded by Luis Malagón.

For their part, the players from the Coapa team tried to complete their plays through a more vertical game and through crosses, but these did not pose a danger to goalkeeper Raúl Rangel. The first half was lackluster and without any other dangerous action, it ended 0-0.
In the 53rd minute, Chivas created a counterattack after a corner kick favored the locals. Álvaro Fidalgo failed to contain the ball and Piojo Alvarado drove the ball from his own area to América’s area, serving for Fernando Beltrán, who shot from the edge of the area, however, his shot went to one side of the goal.
I don’t believe the game that Chivas put together. Be careful vs between Alvarado and Fidalgo??
