Chivas snatches dramatic draw in Puebla with Roberto Alvarado goal
Guadalajara Chivas managed a 1-1 draw against Puebla in a dramatic match at Estadio Cuauhtémoc. Roberto Alvarado scored the equalizing goal, but the Herd couldn't capitalize on their dominance. With this result, Chivas has 4 points from 3 games and sits in 10th place in Liga MX, 3 points behind leaders Club Tijuana.
What happened in the match?
The game started with Chivas dominating, creating multiple chances but failing to convert. Armando González and Roberto Alvarado had the best opportunities, but Puebla's goalkeeper, Ricardo Gutiérrez, was inspired. In the 25th minute, Puebla took the lead with a goal from Eduardo Mustre, capitalizing on a defensive error by Chivas.
Why it matters for Chivas
This draw leaves Chivas with a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss in the first 3 matchdays. Gabriel Milito's team is still searching for its best form, especially in finishing, as they've generated many chances in the last two games but only scored 2 goals. The lack of efficiency in the opponent's area is an issue they need to address soon.
What's next for the Herd?
Chivas prepares for their next match against Santos Laguna, currently in 17th place. The game will take place on August 17 at Estadio Corona. With a recent form of 1W-1D-2L in their last 4 matches, the team needs to improve their performance to close the gap on the league leaders.
