Following the important 1-0 victory over Santos Laguna in Matchweek 4 of the Apertura 2026, Guadalajara not only added another 3 points to its tally, but also secured back-to-back wins after defeating Seattle Sounders in the Leagues Cup. In addition, the Rebaño Sagrado put an end to a demanding five-match stretch away from home, featuring two Liga MX games and three Leagues Cup matches, and did so with a positive record.
The win in Torreón also brought with it a series of interesting stats and records that reflect the team’s strong form and are worth taking a closer look at:
- Positive finish to five matches away from Guadalajara. The Rebaño Sagrado wrapped up its five-game stretch away from home with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, a run that included both Liga MX and Leagues Cup matches.
- Torreón continues to suit the Rebaño Sagrado. With this victory, Chivas has won 2 of its last 3 visits to TSM, confirming its recent strong run in the Laguna region.
- Recent dominance over Santos. Guadalajara has earned 4 wins in its last 5 meetings with Los Guerreros, a trend that continued with the result in Matchweek 4.
- Another clean sheet for ‘Tala’. Raúl Rangel recorded his second clean sheet of the Apertura 2026 and has now kept 35 clean sheets in official matches with Chivas. In addition, the Rojiblanco goalkeeper was decisive in Torreón, making 2 key saves on the only two shots on target Santos Laguna registered throughout the match.
- Ricardo Marín, decisive once again. The Rojiblanco forward converted the penalty that became the game-winning goal and continues to make the most of his opportunities, with 1 goal and 1 assist in just 116 minutes played in the Apertura 2026.
- Milito reaches 50 matches in charge of the Rebaño Sagrado. With this game, Gabriel Milito reached 50 official matches as Chivas’ head coach, taking into account Liga MX and Leagues Cup. His winning percentage with the team stands at 56.6%, with a record of 25 wins, 10 draws and 15 losses.
- First minutes toward the youth-player requirement. Chivas began accumulating minutes under this rule with Hugo Camberos (80) and Santiago Sandoval (38). Once each player reaches the required 180 minutes in the tournament, the minutes they recorded with the Mexico U-20 National Team during the Concacaf U-20 Championship will also be counted.
Thus, the victory in Torreón left the Rebaño Sagrado with much more than 3 points. Guadalajara extended its recent dominance over Santos, confirmed its strength on the road, kept another clean sheet and added individual milestones that give even more value to a victory that allowed the team to continue moving forward in the Apertura 2026.
