Through its effectiveness, game management and composure to hold onto the result, Chivas defeated Atlético San Luis 3-0 this afternoon at Estadio Libertad Financiera in Jornada 7 of the Apertura 2026. The team coached by Gabriel Milito has found consistency at the start of the second third of the tournament, reaching 14 points and temporarily moving into second place.
Guadalajara came out firing, as it already had a significant 0-2 lead before the 10-minute mark, thanks to the mobility of its players and the efficiency of its attackers in front of goal. Of course, this allowed the Rojiblancos to take control of the match.
With the support of the Chivahermanos in San Luis Potosí, who never stopped cheering, the Guadalajara side was able to manage Atlético’s attempts to respond. At the same time, there was never a real sense of danger in Chiverío’s defensive area, which in turn allowed Guadalajara to find the definitive goal.
Next week, Chivas will return home to host Pumas in J8 of AP26. The match will take place on Sunday, September 13, at 7:07 PM.
The goals
– The lead belongs to Guadalajara! In the 6th minute, ‘Piojo’ sent a dangerous cross from the right for Sandoval to finish, but his effort smashed off the post, hit the goalkeeper on the rebound and went in.
– El Rebaño struck quickly! In the 9th minute, after a great layoff from Sepúlveda, Marín unleashed an exquisite volley to find the back of the net once again.
– Ledezma put the game away! In the 80th minute, ‘Richy’ entered the box from the right and, when everyone expected a cutback, fired a shot past the goalkeeper, who did not even have a chance to get a hand to it.
The dangerous chances
– Just 1 minute into the match, Ricardo Marín found room to shoot from the edge of the box and fired with his left foot, but the goalkeeper made the save.
– In the 85th minute, Kevin Castañeda unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box that flirted with the top corner but went just wide of the post.
