The win against Necaxa on matchday 3 allowed Guadalajara to equal its best tournament start in recent years, that of Clausura 2019, when it achieved 3 wins against Xolos, Cruz Azul and Toluca.
However, if they beat the Bravos on Friday, for Matchday 4 of the Apertura 2023, Chivas could record their best start to a tournament in more than a decade.
When was the last time Guadalajara had won its first four matches?
We have to go back to 2010, to the Bicentennial Tournament, when the Rebaño Sagrado started the semester with wins over Toluca, Tigres, Tecos and Querétaro. On that occasion, Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández stood out, scoring goals all over the place.
That winning streak ended with eight consecutive victories, which to date is a record in short tournaments in Mexican soccer.
