Chivas qualified to the Liguilla with a statement win, crushing Mazatlan by a 4-1 score at home to guarantee a third place finish in the standings. Chivas totally dominated a poor Mazatlan team that were overwhelmed from the start, even after they picked it up at times. Chivas will now skip the Repechaje and wait for the Liguilla where they will have home field advantage.
The first half started with Chivas having the return of Roberto Alvarado after being injured. A shot from outside the area was deflected and almost went in for the goal. 10 minutes into the match, a great cross into the area was headed by Victor Guzman past Mazatlan’s goalkeeper Ricardo Gutierrez for the opening goal, giving Chivas the 1-0 lead.
