Chivas struggled last night, but ultimately held on for a 2-1 victory against FC Juarez. Chivas were the slightly better team in the first half and reflected it on the scoreboard by grabbing a 2-0 lead, but it was all FC Juarez in the second 45 as Chivas were lucky to not see the game tied up.
It was a cold night in Ciudad Juarez. The home side had the possession initially, but weren’t creating much danger. After a good move from Alan Medina, his cross went right to Gabriel Fernandez but his volley was deficient and went right into the hands of Chivas’ keeper Miguel Jimenez.
