Chivas held to home draw by Veracruz

Chivas Guadalajara were denied a move back to the top of the league table after failing to create a spark in a scoreless home draw versus Veracruz on Monday.

The result wasn’t what the Rojiblancos were expecting, facing arguably one of the worst teams in Liga MX.

Hiram Mier and Alexis Vega came very close in the opening minutes for Chivas, with the latter striking the woodwork from a good chance inside the box.

But while the hosts continued to pile on the pressure, Veracruz keeper Sebastian Jurado kept denying shot after shot from the Rebaño.
