We won!

Sergio Santana Goal Like the headline says…we won! Qualification the Liguilla is looking possible now. Sometimes this system screws you over because the best over the long run of the tournament doesn’t come out the champion and other times it gives a team that hasn’t been doing that great(US!) a chance to fight for the trophy.
Gotta love it.

We won against Atlante 1-0 thanks to a goal by Sergio Santana in the 60 min. Overall we did quite well and after the first half the score was 0-0. Despite it being a goal less draw it was still very entertaining as Chivas was constantly attacking and looking very threatening.
I didn’t get to watch most of the 2nd half due to a school function but I did see the goal and having become a rarity, I say it was spectacular. I didn’t watch much after that to be honest,

Four players did get yellow cards. Edgar Ivan Solís (20′)
Héctor Reynoso (45′)
Xavier Ivan Báez (87′)
Ramón Morales (90′)

Now, during midweek we get to play River Plate down in Argentina for the Copa Sudamericana. River are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Boca Juniors so it will be interesting to see how this game goes down.

And Sunday night EL CLASSICO. Come on boys, clip those eagles’ wings!
