Chivas didn’t rest many players in win over weekend

Chivas Guadalajara managed to win their first Liga MX match in almost two months over the weekend, but they did so while using a roster that looked remarkably similar to the one that lost to the Seattle Sounders last week in CONCACAF Champions League play.

Eight of the 11 players who started against the Sounders also started in the 1-0 win at Lobos BUAP (about 430 miles east of Estadio Chivas), and five of them played 90 minutes in both games, including three of the four starting defenders. In total, Chivas used 12 players in both games.
