Despite largely dominating the match and showing a notable improvement in their footballing performance, Guadalajara were unable to reflect this on the scoreboard and drew 0 goals against Pachuca, in a match corresponding to Day 9 of the Apertura 2023.
General analysis
Chivas settled in the opponent's field, generated dangerous chances and showed fluency when attacking, however, their aim was not the best, as deflected shots and outstanding saves by Carlos Moreno prevented the Rebaño from winning the match.
- Against Tuzos, Guadalajara had its second highest percentage in pass efficiency in the final third of the field during the Apertura 2023 (80.2%).
Another of Rebaño's highlights was the way in which they recovered the ball, by positioning themselves in a high block and showing good coordination when pressing, they forced Pachuca to divide and look for long spaces, which allowed Chiverío to recover the ball quickly.
- Guadalajara registered 67 turnovers during the 90 minutes, the most in this tournament.
This was also a match in which Chivas rediscovered their soccer identity, which is based on having the ball and dominating the opponent through it. Pachuca was subdued throughout the match, but lacked the punch to seal the game.
- Chivas registered its highest ball possession so far this tournament, having the ball for 60% of the match.
It is a reality that there is much room for improvement for the red and white team, which needs to get back to winning ways, and will have Sunday and Monday to fine-tune details for the match against Mazatlan, which will also be played at the Akron Stadium.
The most outstanding
- Roberto Alvarado: The red-and-white striker continues to be decisive in the construction of the game, whether by teaming up or dribbling past opponents. Vital to Chivas' structure.
