Chivas continued to improve with their results after getting a 2-1 win over Xolos. Interim Coach Ricardo Cadena has gotten six out of six points so far after replacing Michel Leaño. That being said, Chivas suffered quite a bit in the second half and Xolos of Tijuana really deserved better than a loss after hitting the post twice and dominating play in the final minutes. Chivas will remain at home to face an inspired Pumas side, while Tijuana will go back home to face Queretaro on Sunday.
The first half started with Chivas coming out without the suspended Alexis Vega and with Jose Juan Macias and Fernando Beltran out because of injuries.
