With the coldness of an experienced player, Yael Padilla, only 17 years old, gave Chivas a vital victory against Cruz Azul in Akron, with the minimum 1-0, which put them among the four best teams in the MX League.
It was a very hard-fought match in both sectors. On the one hand, “Tiba” Sepúlveda and Raúl Martínez contained the attacks of Ángel Sepúlveda, Alexis Gutiérrez and Uriel Antuna.
On the other, Juan Escobar and the “Titan”, Carlos Salcedo, prevented Yael Padilla, Isaac “Conejo” Brizuela and Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado from piercing Andrés Gudiño’s networks.

To be local, Chivas allowed Cruz Azul to also keep the ball in the area. The movements of the former national team, Charly Rodríguez and Kevin Castaño, the latter the most prominent of the Machine, benefited from there being dynamism on the part of Joaquín Moreno.
But, they ran into a recovery wall at the feet of “Oso” González who, together with “Nene” Beltrán, served as a kind of libero, where they stole the ball from the Cementeros and distributed it towards the attack, where they also Alan Mozo joined, on many occasions, who in the last gasps of the game, seemed more like a winger on the left, than the natural full-back as he normally acts.
It was until the 69th minute, after a forgettable first half at the Akron Stadium, when the most dangerous game for the visit arrived. A shot by Sepúlveda was going to become the first goal shout, however, both “Tiba” and “Oso” put their feet in and prevented the shot from sneaking into “Wacho” Jiménez’s goal.
But it was the same Blue Cross who stoned his aspirations for the 2023 Apertura Liguilla.
An unnecessary foul by Willer Ditta, just when five minutes of added time had been allocated, caused the referee to add two more because, in the first instance, he gave the Colombian defender the red card and, after reviewing it in the VAR, he decided to change his decision to yellow, however, this lost period caused the extension of the game and goal of the Sacred Flock.
After a recovery in the midfield, after a play that started at the feet of “Pollo” Antonio Briseño and ended in a pass to the center from the defense towards “Piojo” Alvarado, he scored a diagonal for Víctor “Pocho” Guzmán .
The former Pachuca midfielder looked up, located only Yael Padilla, he received, cut back and from the right defined in the 97th minute not only the match, but the direct classification of Chivaswho will finish in fourth place at the end of Day 16 of the tournament.
For its part, the Machine is practically eliminated from the competition, with one day remaining, as it is in 15th position, with 17 points, and its classification to the Play-In of the Liga MX seems distant.
