Guadalajara tried by all means, dominated most of the match, smashed 2 balls against the post and never ceased insisting, but tonight the ball simply said no, which, added to the fact that Puebla took advantage of one of the few options they generated up front, meant a setback for the Rebaño in Matchday 11 of the Clausura 2023, which cut short their unbeaten streak, leaving them with 21 points, and stand momentarily in third place. Next week they will play El Clasico de Mexico at the Akron Stadium.
The goal:
39' Gustavo Ferrareis advanced down the right and took advantage of being given space to get a shot off that ended up in the back of the net.
