Tijuana clinches Liguilla appearance, defeats Chiapas 2-0
Tijuana got an early goal from Milton Caraglio and never looked back, defeating lowly Chiapas FC 2-0. With the 2-0 win, Xolos are guaranteed of a spot in the Liguilla and increased their lead over second place Pachuca to six points (although in fairness, Tuzos don’t play until tomorrow night at Chivas).
Xolos started out the night moving the ball well and probing the Chiapas defense early. It didn’t take long for them to find a weakness, as in the eighth minute Gabriel Hauche made a run down the right and crossed it to Milton Caraglio. Caraglio’s header was perfectly placed, and all Jaguares goalkeeper Federico Crivelli could do was wave at the ball as it sailed into the back of the net.
