In a non-too difficult game, Chivas beat Estudiantes 3-0.

As opposed to the game against Pumas, the new Omnilife stadium was filled to the brim with supporters. It was “fan day” at the stadium and tickets were going for only 20 pesos.

Before the start of the game, Ramon Morales was given a special recognition. He now plays with Estudiantes, but he will always be in the minds of the Chivas fans. He gave over 10 years of service to the club and rightfully deserved more than he was given. The club had initially talked about playing a testimonial, but that doesn’t seem like anytime soon.

Omar Bravo scored the first goal in the 37th minute thanks to a pass from Marco Fabian. The game marked Bravo’s 300th appearance in the league and he celebrated with a goal.

Michel Vasquez scored his first goal in the league in the 74th minute. Marco Fabian sent a nice pass to Vasquez, who then sent it straight past Rodriguez for the 2-0.

After showing his influence over the course of the game, Marco Fabian made it on to the scoreboard in the 90th minute.

Overall, a large improvement over recent weeks. Marco Fabian has been on the top of his game. Omar Bravo is returning to his old self. Nothing so far can replace what Chivas had in Hernandez last season, but going towards this is a start.

The next game is against Pachuca on September 11, and the opponents are already talking trash.

Pachuca haven’t done too well this season; they have three losses, two draws and just one win so it’s another good opportunity to continue to build up the momentum towards a positive place.

    Impressive, is Marco Fabian always this good?

    He’s always shown glimpses of what he can do, but these types of performances have been a recent thing. Fabian was out with a long term injury so he hasn’t had much opportunity to show all that he can do.

    But it seems like he’s on the right path this season.

    i’d much rather see Marco Fabian over Bofo in that position; his speed, shots and accurate passes are more effective than what Bautista has shown in the season thus far.

    and while it is true that these impressive performances by Fabian have all been recent, i’d say that, given what he’s done on the pitch over the past two years, this should surprise no one. he scored against Everton in the Copa Libertadores last year, and in the 2008 edition of the Copa Sudamericana, against River Plate… twice. a sampling of what was to come, no doubt.

    i don’t think it’d be a stretch to say he’ll soon be called up to the senior national team (maybe for the friendly against Venezuela next month), and will most definitely make the U-23 squad for the Copa America next year.

    I like Fabian better than Bofo as well. He definetly adds a new dynamic for the team. He battles for the ball, goes for everything and runs at a higher speed than three miles per hour.

    I’m surprised he wasn’t called up under Efrain Flores. But you’re right, it’s not long until he makes his way on there.
