Chivas got their first win at home of the season, defeating Necaxa by a score of 2-1. It was a controversial last minute game that seems to breathe life into Chivas’ coach Victor Manuel Vucetich, who had been severely questioned after a string of terrible performances. Necaxa fans would feel robbed by controversy surrounding both Chivas goals, especially the second. Both teams will have a FIFA break before returning to action where Chivas will travel to Mexico City to face Pumas while Necaxa will travel to face Queretaro.
Chivas started the match with the return of Alejandro Mayorga to the starting lineup for Miguel Ponce, but Uriel Antuna remained on the bench.
