Carson, California.- The lack of goals continues to plague El Rebaño Sagrado. Despite generating multiple scoring chances and showing improvement, especially in the first half, Chivas failed to capitalize which was all the Galaxy needed to take the Leagues Cup 2022 Showcase matchup 2-0 on Wednesday night at Sofi Stadium.
Understanding the importance of Friday's Liga MX match in Mazatlán, Ricardo Cadena used the least experienced players in the Apertura 2022 in this international match, in order to focus on beating Los Cañoneros at all costs to be able to aspire to a rebound in the domestic competition.
How did the goals come about?
- At 27', Efraín Álvarez took a corner kick to the near post that Dejan Joveljic tapped in to open the scoring.
- In the 62nd minute, Jonathan Perez's left-footed shot from just outside the box hit the base of the right-hand post and into the net.
Highlights
- Marioni Ham, the 18-year-old attacker who plays for Chivas U-20, debuted with El Rebaño's First Squad.
