Club América Triumphs Over Chivas

On March 13, 2025, Club América showcased an impressive performance, defeating the Chivas de Guadalajara 4-0 in the third match of their series. This victory secured their place in the quarter-finals of the Concachampions, overturning an earlier deficit.

The match took place at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, and it was markedly different from the two previous encounters, which ended in a 1-0 and 0-0 draw.

Coached by André Jardine, América was looking to bounce back after trailing from the previous match. The team demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, as they scored early in the game.

Key Players Shine

Goals from Brian Rodríguez, Diego Valdés, Alejandro Zendejas, and Álvaro Fidalgo propelled América to victory while their defense ensured that the Chivas did not manage a single shot on goal throughout the match.

This heavy defeat was particularly disheartening for the Chivas under coach Gerardo Espinoza, who expressed his feelings about the loss during the post-match press conference.

“We need to be hurt, we are all upset, in mourning; honestly, this was very difficult. It will be hard to lead, but we have to look ahead. We have another match on Saturday that we must face,” Espinoza said.

Match Overview

América maintained dominance during the match, recording 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target, largely due to a significant impact from their players. The game shifted dramatically when Chivas lost Alan Mozo to a red card shortly after halftime.

Espinoza admitted that the errors made in the match were vital. ‘We did not enter an appropriate rhythm, and the many mistakes we made cost us against a rival that has been together for a long time,’ he added. 

Looking Forward

The Chivas are now focused on the Clausura 2025, preparing to face the Bravos de Juárez in their next match. Currently placed 10th in the league standings, they are only 3 points behind the direct qualification spots for the next round.

This defeat marks a significant moment for the Chivas as they aim to regroup and strategize for the upcoming matches.
