Chivas dominate Necaxa as they book ticket to the Quarterfinals

Chivas dominated most of their repechaje match and should have gotten a better score, but were still able to get through to the Liguilla with a 1-0 win over Necaxa. Chivas was the better ranked team, but injuries to top players Alexis Vega and Jose Juan Macias meant the team was coming in at a disadvantage. They were still able to prevail, although their attack in the final third was lackluster compared to how much possession they had. Necaxa meanwhile wasted most of the match, and although they tried in the final minutes they simply weren’t good enough. Chivas will now have to wait to see which team they face in their quarterfinal match.
