The Red and White activity kicked off this weekend against Bravos in Verde Valle, as this morning both the U-23 and U-18 teams faced their counterparts from FC Juárez, where the scoreline was scandalous.
How did the U18 team fare?
There was only one team on the field, as Chivas overwhelmed their rival 5-1. Character and effectiveness were shown by the Rebaño's youngsters, who completely neutralized the equine team to win their fifth victory in six games. With this, the U18s maintained their overall leadership of the Clausura 2024 with 19 points.
The game was decided in the first half, as the Rebaño scored for Víctor García at the start of the match, in addition to goals by Diego Latorre and Antonio Dolores before halftime. In the second half, Juan Pablo Uribe sealed the three points with a brace. Juárez scored on an unfortunate own goal by goalkeeper Armando Navarrete, in which the pitch played a trick on him with an unexpected bounce of the ball.

How did Chivas U23 do?
Fortune was not on the Rebaño's side, who took the initiative in the match as the home side; however, a couple of lapses in concentration cost the Red-and-White the game and they lost 1-2 against the Borderers. Thus, Chivas U23 remained in 15th place in the standings with 5 points.
First, the Juarense team took the lead from the penalty spot, courtesy of Ángel Zapata in the first half. In the second half, Gael García leveled things with a tremendous shot, but in a subsequent counterattack, Luis Martínez scored for the visitors.
