America recovers in the classic: 1-0 against Guadalajara

The national classic returned to its original venue after 70 years. The Ciudad de los Deportes stadium added another historic moment by hosting a duel in which América beat Chivas 1-0; an episode that went from the cold to the hostile to moments of jubilation.

Ramón Juárez (31) was the protagonist by scoring the goal that gave life to a game that was shaping up for lethargy. With the victory on matchday seven of the Clausura 2024 tournament, the Águilas gain ground in Liga Mx by reaching nine points, while Guadalajara has 11 units.

Thinking about the national classic inevitably takes us back to the Azteca stadium, where América has been the home team since 1966. However, the stage where this rivalry between Águilas and Chivas originated was the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, after the Americanistas won the Copa México on May 12, 1954.

However, since September 5 of that same year, the venue had not hosted this match. Now, the Eagles have returned after the renovations of the Santa Úrsula stadium, although they had to face the distrust of their own fans.

The atmosphere is very cold, the Azteca is missed. As an Americanista, I don’t expect much in terms of sports, because the team is doing badly.said José, a fan of the Eagles.

The gloomy atmosphere also turned hostile when a group of red-and-white supporters threw objects at an América fans’ truck, prompting security elements to intervene to control the altercation.

Both in the stands and on the field, Chivas weighed in at the start of the match, especially after the shots from Armando González and Alan Mozo.

Everything seemed to be a night of torture for the Eagles, until Juarez’s unexpected reaction to a rebound allowed them to turn the script of this classic around and shake up the nets.

Beyond giving the advantage to the Americanists, the goal also reminded them of the significance of this clash, facing their bitter rival, in a historic setting from which they seem to feel distant, even though it has marked part of their essence.

Thus, both teams were a little more daring in attack, but left the promise of goals. The fans, on the other hand, fell into controversy by launching the homophobic chant in the second half, an outcry that only further darkened a game that had struggled to shine as in previous years.

Toluca overwhelms Tijuana

Earlier, Toluca jumped to the top spot by beating Tijuana 4-0. The scarlet team remains undefeated and boasts 17 points, the same as Tigres, while the Xolos squad remained in fifth place, with 14 points.
