Saturday was a perfect night for Chivas, who proved once again that the capital belongs to the Rojiblancos. Of course, victory in El Clásico de México is enjoyed in a special way, but the Rebaño Sagrado is already focused on what comes next.
Guadalajara will play the first of three games at AKRON Stadium and will have to make the most of their home advantage, although to beat Tigres on Wednesday they will have to repeat their best performance and prove that the result against América was not a fluke, but the result of the great work being done under Gabriel Milito.
One of the men who has proven himself ready when called upon is Miguel Gómez, who gave a stellar performance in shutting down the Azulcremas' attackers on the right wing, particularly Allan Saint-Maximin, who is known for his physical strength and speed. That was no problem for 'Migue', who completely shut down the French winger, who was also substituted without making any significant contribution to the capital side's attack.
The young defender proved that he can be used in high-pressure situations, and his remarkable performance was not limited to defensive duties, as he also joined in the attack at various points in the game to provide another option on the wings.
Without a doubt, against Tigres, Gómez could be one of Gabriel Milito's trump cards in defense, with the mission of completely nullifying the third-best offense in the 2025 Apertura so that Guadalajara can win the match against the Regios, with the aim of adding three points that will bring them closer to the Play In zone in the overall standings.
