San Jose, California - Guadalajara showed a good side in their presentation in the Rebaño 2023 Tour, but despite their good performance throughout the match, they ended up losing to the Pachuca Tuzos at PayPal Park. Veljko Paunovic's team played with their style of play and even took the lead with a set piece that was finished by Antonio Briseño, but the lack of attention against the team from the Bella Airosa cost them the defeat. Chivas will continue their California tour against Toluca, in a match scheduled for next Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson.
