In the midst of the drama and with a maximum penalty shot in the last minute, the red and black came back to beat Chivas 2-1 and stay alive in the fight to reach the league through play in.
After having finished in tenth place in the general table, Atlas passed the first test at the rival’s home to advance to the next round of play in, where they will face the winner of the duel between América and Xolos in search of the last ticket for the league of the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga Mx.
The play in format indicates that the teams that finished in seventh and eighth places, in this case Tijuana and América, must face each other for a direct ticket to the league. The loser will compete for the last pass to the winner of the match of the clubs that closed in places nine and ten, Atlas and Chivas, respectively.
In a classic from Guadalajara punctuated by controversy, the red and black team emerged victorious from the Akron stadium after a game that brought the nervousness to a peak in the final stretch.
With the score tied and when the match was heading towards penalties, Antonio Pollo Briseño elbowed Luis Reyes, the foul was key to changing the script of the match as referee César Ramos Palazuelos resorted to the VAR to signal a penalty.
It was then that Aldo Rocha (90+8) resisted the pressure of the red-and-white fans from the penalty spot to shoot a shot to the left side and celebrate the goal that allowed Atlas to remain in contention for the league.
The motivational message that Javier Chicharito Hernández exclaimed from the locker room minutes before the match was of little use. “Part of the commitment is to play intelligently, we have refereeing against us, let’s be intelligent and intense,” he said energetically.
Although Chivas came out with greater offensive force, they barely reached the net in the second half. The referee validated with the VAR a handball by Matheus Doria after a shot by Chicharito Hernández, so Víctor Guzmán (59) successfully took the maximum penalty to give the home team the advantage.
However, Atlas responded in the final stretch when Uros Durdevic finished off a shot that hit José Castillo with a volley and then entered the net.
The Chivas fans reacted with annoyance and threw several objects at the red and black team. Tempers heated up to the point that fans from both teams tried to enter the field, but were stopped by the venue’s security elements.
