Guadalajara did well at home. With patience, intelligence, sparks of good soccer, especially in the second half, and a brace from 'Pocho' Guzmán, El Rebaño came from behind to beat Xolos on Wednesday night at the Estadio Akron, for matchday 7 of the Clausura 2023, a result that has catapulted them to fifth place overall with 12 points.
The goals
- At 26', the Xolos took the lead when Federico Lertora took advantage of a ball that was left alive in the box after a series of rebounds and shot past 'Wacho' with a left-footed shot.
- El Rebaño equalized at 35', when the referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Ronaldo Cisneros, which 'Pocho' Guzmán converted into a goal with a right-footed cross that completely fooled Toño Rodríguez.
