Argentine coach Gabriel Milito’s Chivas de Guadalajara went from strength to strength to defeat Atlas 1-2 on Saturday in the Guadalajara derby and move up to third place in the Mexican soccer Clausura.
After losing two games, Chivas had to show character to shake off a disadvantage on Saturday and earn three points with goals from Armando González and Ángel Sepúlveda, after Paulo Ramírez opened the scoring for Atlas.
In the continuation of the tenth matchday, a mistake at the start cost Guadalajara to start behind, after Ramírez scored with a left-footed shot in the 12th minute.
Chivas took control of the game, but lacked the finishing touches until the 48th minute, when Gonzalez converted a right-footed shot from Roberto Alvarado to make it 1-1.
In the 73rd minute, Colombian goalkeeper Camilo Vargas confirmed his great form by saving a penalty kick from González, but the Atlas defense failed again and Sepúlveda did convert the penalty in the 84th minute to seal the victory for the visitors.
With seven wins, two losses and 21 points, Guadalajara is third in the standings, four points behind leader Cruz Azul, which earlier beat San Luis 3-0.
Argentine Agustín Palavecino, Uruguayan Gabriel Fernández and Andrés Montaño reflected the superiority of Argentine coach Nicolás Larcamón’s Azules on the scoreboard.
With the win, Cruz Azul confirmed its leadership with eight wins, one draw, one loss and 25 points, four points ahead of champions Toluca, who will host Juárez FC tomorrow, and Chivas.
