Chivas bounce back to close out season with comeback win over Monterrey

Chivas close out their season with a come from behind win as they defeated Monterrey by a score of 3-1. Chivas finished a week filled with turmoil in which they officially announced the end of their contract with Dieter Villalpando as well that players Jose Javier Vasquez, Alexis Peña, and Javier Lopez would never play with Chivas again. Monterrey meanwhile had played on Wednesday in the Copa MX final and looked out of energy late in the game. Both teams will now play in the repechaje, as the loss meant that Monterrey was out of the Liguilla.

The first half started with Chivas still not having Jose Juan Macias back from injury as well as the players they cut ties with.
