Player Ratings: Chivas vs. Chiapas, Apertura 2016

Chivas was out to prove that the emphatic win against America was no fluke

Chivas soundly defeated Chiapas 2-0 Saturday night at the Estadio Chivas for the eighth match date of the 2016 Apertura.

Matías Almeyda and company continued where they left off before the international break by putting two impressive goals on the board against Jaguares. Carlos Cisneros’ 10th minute strike was a legitimate golazo from the edge of the box. Cisneros remained involved on build up throughout the game and has become an indispensable player in Almeyda’s lineup.

In the 27th minute, Isaác Brizuela’s fine run of form led him to score another goal to make it 2-0—he scored in Chivas’ previous win against America.
