Chivas, despite being the away team, enjoyed strong support from their fans in the stands. They quickly established dominance in the match, scoring two early goals that set the tone for the rest of the game. The first goal came from an unfortunate own goal by San Luis’ Santiago Sandoval, who volleyed a cross that deflected off the post and into the net, giving Chivas a 1-0 lead. Shortly after, Ricardo Marin extended the lead to 2-0 with a powerful left-footed shot following a well-placed assist from Angel Sepulveda.

Although San Luis had a few chances, including a shot from Sebastien Salles-Lamonge that hit the post, they were unable to capitalize. The first half concluded with Chivas firmly in the driver’s seat, having created more opportunities and showcased their attacking prowess.
The second half saw San Luis make substitutions in an attempt to turn the tide, but Chivas continued to dominate the match.
