Chivas was the superior team from the start and dominated the struggling Santos, who barely threatened Chivas all 90 minutes.

Chivas is now solidly in third place of Liga MX and will face off against Leon in a postponed midweek clash. Santos will hope to get out of last place when they hosts Puebla next weekend. The 1st half started with Chivas once again coming up with two starting forwards: Angel Sepulveda and Armando Gonzalez.

A great cross from Efrain Alvarez was just out of reach of Gonzalez, who would have had a close range chance had he gotten to it. Alvarez would get the ball in the area and get off a left footed shot that would go wide. A great combination play ended with Roberto Alvarado getting off a right footed shot in the area that was blocked by Santos’ goalkeeper, Carlos Acevedo, but the rebound was left there for Armando Gonzalez to get off a close range shot past Acevedo and into the net to score and give Chivas the 1-0 lead.

It was a very good couple of passes and although Santos’ player complained about a possible offside, Gonzalez was never in an offside position. From outside the area, Fran Villalba got off a right footed shot from outside the area that went wide. After lowering the ball in the area, Gonzalez got off a right footed shot that went wide.
