Guadalajara Chivas have matched a historic scoring record that had stood for 65 years. The red-and-white club has secured three wins with five or more goals in 2026, according to a report from www.google.com published on August 23.
The team is currently fourth in the Liga MX standings with 10 points from 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Their recent form shows four wins and a draw in the last five matches, including a 5-2 victory over Club Tijuana on August 22. This result leaves them just three points behind leaders Club America.
Which matches make up the feat?
The first offensive display of the year came in Week 9 of the 2026 Clausura with a resounding 5-0 win over León. The second was in Week 15, another 5-0 thrashing, this time against Puebla. The third and most recent was the 5-2 win over Tijuana. This last result is especially significant as it came right after the departure of the team's top scorer, Armando 'Hormiga' González, who signed for Greece's Olympiacos.
Forward Roberto Alvarado, with 2 goals in 5 appearances, is now Chivas's top scorer this season. You can check the team's full performance on our stats page.
When did this last happen?
To find a similar streak of three matches with five or more goals in the same calendar year, you have to go back to 1961. That year, Chivas beat Irapuato 5-0, Monterrey 5-0, and Nacional 6-1. Journalist Óscar Guevara summarized the current achievement: "Chivas anota 5 goles por tercera vez en el año 2026."
Sixty-five years separate the two feats, making the team managed by Gabriel Milito one of the most prolific in this regard in the club's history. The priority now, as the report states, is to build the necessary confidence to reach the Liga MX playoffs.
What does it mean for the rest of the season?
The message sent to the league is clear: the team was not weakened after losing its star striker. With 8 goals scored and 5 conceded this season, they maintain a positive goal difference of +3. Their next challenge is an away match against 14th-placed CF Pachuca on Sunday, August 29 at Estadio Hidalgo.
This match is key to maintaining momentum in the title race. Fans can follow the standings evolution on our standings section. The immediate goal is to solidify this scoring streak as a foundation for a successful season.
