2024 began with a lot of intensity for Guadalajara, especially this February, which has brought with it Liga MX and CONCACAF Champions Cup activity. In a span of 20 days, the Rebaño Sagrado played 7 matches between both competitions, where it achieved a favorable balance to face what March will bring.
The streak that Chivas achieved in February
The team from Guadalajara kicked off the second month of the year by beating Atlético de San Luis away from home and went on a string of undefeated matches against Juárez, Mazatlán, and Hamilton Forge on a couple of occasions.
Despite stumbling against Necaxa, the Chiverío closed the month on a high note with a win over Pumas at Akron Stadium. In total, Fernando Gago's team had five wins, one draw, and only one loss.
Cade Cowell's debut
The arrival of Cade Cowell to the Red and White team caused a great stir among the ChivaHermanos, who have responded with good performances and also with goals that translate into points for the Rebaño.
The Guadalajara number 16 has now scored three goals, with his brace against Hamilton Forge in the first leg of the continental tournament, and the most recent goal against Pumas at Chiverío's home.
Goal-scoring captain
A large part of Rebaño Sagrado's offensive effectiveness is also due to the contribution of captain Víctor Guzmán, who has been responsible for the goals in four of Guadalajara's five Liga MX matches.
In total, 'Pocho' has accumulated 6 goals in the period, which has made him the leading scorer of the Clausura 2024. In addition, the Guadalajara number 5 also has one assist in that period.
Continental authority
Lastly, Chivas won its ticket to the Round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in a convincing series against Hamilton Forge. Both in Canada and in the Perla Tapatía, Chivas stood on the pitch with authority and sealed their ticket to the next phase with a 5-2 aggregate win.
In addition to qualifying for the next round, Fernando Gago was able to give the entire squad time on the pitch proving that each player is up to the necessary level to respond when needed.
