Cruz Azul boosted their slim Liguilla hopes as they earned a 2-1 victory over Chivas. The visitors played the majority of the game with ten men after Miguel Ponce was sent off in the 28th minute.
The result came days after Chivas clinched the 2017 Clausura Copa MX title over Monarcas Morelia on penalties.
The game began at a fierce pace, with both teams immediately creating their first chances of the game.
The fans at the Estadio Azul had to wait just 21 minutes for the first goal when a superb build-up play ended with Rodolfo Cota tripping Jorge Benitez inside the box for a penalty.
