Chivas beats Atlas 1-0 and advances to the league

Chivas was saved in the last round and is in the league. Robert Louse Alvarado has emerged as a hero for the Guadalajara club by scoring a goal that has meant much more than a 1-0 victory against Atlas in the so-called Guadalajara classic. It is a bit that he gives the rojiblancos a direct pass to the big party of the Clausura 2024 tournament of the Liga Mx.

The pressure was intense for Guadalajara; He had to win if he wanted to be among the first places that directly access the league. With the victory at the Jalisco stadium, they jumped from seventh to fifth place with 31 points and five consecutive victories to secure their place in the quarterfinals.

The result also had an effect on the general table, where Pachuca fell with 29 points to the seventh step and will have to fight in the play-in for a ticket to the next phase. Monterrey, which is sixth, will define the list of positions of those invited to the league when it faces Necaxa this Sunday, which is destined for the play-offs.

With five games in a row without losing, Chivas came into the game with high spirits, which was reflected with an insistent offensive. Pavel Pérez and Ricardo Marín stalked the rival with dangerous shots, although they were stopped by goalkeeper Camilo Vargas.

Fernando Gago’s team was insistent on the complement and even reinforced the attack with Javier Chicharito Hernández, but Atlas had created a blockade in defense of the goal. The red-blacks no longer have a chance of reaching the league as they have only 14 units, so now they were only fighting for pride.

Thus, Atlas complicated the duel against Guadalajara, until individual genius saved the visitors. Roberto Alvarado (74) received a pass from Jesús Whip Orozco and in a quick reading of the game, shot with his left foot from outside the area to shake the nets.

The red and white bench celebrated while listening to another euphoric shout in the stands. The goal was enough for Chivas to take off and celebrate the direct pass.
