Chivas got a last minute goal to rescue a 1-1 tie against Santos in their Clausura 2024 opener. New coach Fernando Gago was able to start his tenure with a point in a match in which Chivas had been the better team, but were very close to losing. Chivas will now have to travel for a tough away match against Tigres while Santos head home to take on the other Monterrey side in Rayados.
The first half under Gago started with the return of Jose Juan Macias to the starting 11. A cross into the area would just be out of reach of Pavel Perez, who would have had a close range header had he reached it.
