The 2025 Apertura quarterfinal series between Chivas and Cruz Azul kicked off with a match that lived up to expectations. Both teams played their best soccer, and it was Guadalajara who deserved more in the match, creating the clearest chances, but without the luck needed to convert them.
Now, the Rebaño must focus on the second leg in the Rojiblanca Capital, where they will seek to secure their place in the next phase. But what does Gabriel Milito's team need to do to reach the Semifinals? It's easy, Chivahermanos: win at Ciudad Universitaria.
Let's remember that, given the overall tie, the team that has the regulatory advantage due to its position in the table is Cruz Azul, as it finished third in the standings, while the Rebaño was sixth. Therefore, any victory by any score will give Guadalajara a pass to the next phase.
That's why the Rebaño Sagrado will need all the support of the Rojiblanca Nation in Mexico City, which will turn the Estadio Olímpico Universitario into another branch of the Rojiblanca Fortress.
SEE YOU ON SUNDAY, CHIVAHERMANOS!
