America make a statement as they crush a crumbling Chivas in Guadalajara

America had their best result of the season as they embarrassed their biggest rival with a 3-0 victory away in Guadalajara. Newcomer Coach Santiago Solari had a great performance in his Clasico Nacional debut as coach, clearly dominating Chivas’ coach Victor Manuel Vucetich who made a puzzling substitution that ended up totally handicapping his team, especially after they went down to ten players because of it. Chivas will now have to wait a long time to bounce back, as next week’s match against Monterrey was postponed because of the 2021 CONCACAF Olympic qualifiers, where Chivas had six players called up and thus were able to postpone the match because of it.
