Brian Gutiérrez has not scored a goal for Chivas since April 18, 2026, when he converted in the match against Puebla. His last goal for the team was in the 50th minute of the 5-0 game at the Estadio Akron. Since then, 124 days, or four months and two days, have passed without him scoring again. Additionally, his last goal with the Mexican national team was on May 22, 2026, in the victory against Ghana, totaling 90 days without scoring in his professional career.
Why is his performance declining?
Gutiérrez's decline in performance can be attributed to a lack of continuity at Chivas, where he has had to alternate starting positions and compete for minutes in a crowded area. This is compounded by his adaptation process to Liga MX after arriving from the Chicago Fire, and the fact that he hasn't always played in the position where he can best exploit his talents. The contrast is clear: with the Mexican national team, he found greater continuity and confidence, while at Chivas, he has struggled to maintain consistency. Rather than a loss of quality, his issue seems related to rhythm, confidence, and tactical context.
