Just as 3 other players from the #CanteraRojiblanca did in their time, Yael Padilla fulfilled the dream that all children who love soccer have. It was the 73rd minute when he came on as a substitute for Isaac Brizuela, one of the regulars for the Rebaño Sagrado, and not only did he enter the field to make his debut, but also culminated the deciding action by scoring the goal that gave Chivas the win against León, in the J1 of the AP23.
In Guadalajara's recent history, there have been 3 other players from the Basic Forces who have had such a memorable performance, and here is a list of them:
Alejandro Vela / J1 of AP04 / Chivas 7 - 0 Atlante
He made his debut in the maximum circuit against Atlante's Potros de Hierro in that scandalous defeat at the Jalisco. The midfielder scored the second goal of the match with a left-footed shot from the front of the net at 22' that was impossible to save, making him part of that memorable night for the Rebaño.
Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández / J7 of the AP06 / Chivas 4-0 Necaxa
The historic Mexican striker came on as a substitute for Omar Bravo, another Chivas legend, and after only 5 minutes on the field scored his first goal as a professional, when he controlled a pass inside the box from 'Venado' Medina, then cut back on his marker and fired a shot that ended up in the net.
William Guzmán / J15 of AP13 / Chivas 1- 1 Morelia
The red-and-white youth player came on at 73' to help Chiverío rescue a draw in the last minute of the match, as at 89' he appeared at the far post to finish off a cross from Marco Fabian and rescue a valuable point for the team from Guadalajara.
Yael Padilla / J1 of AP23 / León 1 - 2 Chivas
The red-and-white striker made his debut in the First Division against the Panzas Verdes. Padilla scored the winning goal at 80', after receiving a well directed pass from 'Pocho' Guzmán and coolly defining against Rodolfo Cota.
