Chivas beat Necaxa 3-2 and are more alive than ever

The Chivas of Guadalajara They buried any vestige tonight that would have been left behind by the management of Argentine coach Fernando Gago, to add the second consecutive victory under the orders of coach Arturo Ortega and in this way defeat the Necaxa 3-2.

Just like last Saturday against Pachuca, the triumph that was not easy, since in the first half Guadalajara once again showed the same problems of understanding that they had under the orders of the one who is now coach of Boca Juniors and for that reason they had to come from behind to overcome the 0-1 in which the team placed them visitor.

Yeah, because Chivas had to recover from the initial goal against in the minutetro that almost caught them with the fingers of the hand at the door with the goal of the Argentine Tomás Badaloni in a corner kick that a stranger made to the goalkeeper Raúl “Tala” Rangel and that allowed the South American to nest the value in the nets.

But not only did they see themselves down on the scoreboard, but the Sacred Flock also had to adjust its lines with the departure of Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado due to a leg injury and the entry of Víctor Guzmán, which although it is true caused some adjustments, the reality is that the entire first half they could not start the engines.

All these factors led to giving Guadalajara a terrible first half and they made us think of old negative practices, especially in the generation of plays up front where Necaxa, by backing down, had the game under control, in a sin that would ultimately cost him defeat.

The change of face

For the second half, perhaps with damaged pride and self-love Due to the boos of the people, at the end of the first half, Chivas changed the way they played and very soon the reward came with the tying goal scored in the 50th minute by the Mexican-American Cade Cowell.

That was the signal that the Guadalajara team was waiting for to go to the front and until the 55th minute, Ricardo Marín achieved the goal of the day and perhaps many more, with a high-heeled shot in the center by Yael Padilla from the left that Marín resolved like great people.

Four minutes later, Víctor “Pocho” Guzmán made it 3-1 in a good shot by taking the ball as it came, hitting it on the grass and making a strange mistake for the goalkeeper to cheer up and leave it standing, making things 3-1.

Guadalajara continued attacking and that Cowell had the 4-1, but with the goal open and in front of the goalkeeper he crossed his shot too far and the play was wasted, with which Chivas had to end the game with Jesus in his mouth, since in the 79th minute Ricardo “La Joya” Monreal in a counterattack brought Necaxa closer 3-2 .

Finally, The local team maintained the advantage and once again showed a new face with players who were not taken into account by the Argentine coach Fernando Gago such as Yael Padilla, as well as the case of Isaac, “Conejo” Brizuela and who little by little are giving Chivas strength to face what will be the core part of the tournament and try to occupy the highest part of the standings.
