The Final Phase of the Clausura 2024 will kick off this Wednesday for Guadalajara and their opponent will be no easy task, as Toluca have already demonstrated their competitiveness in the current tournament. Today we won't focus on the first leg, as we'll be taking a closer look at the recent history between the two in the Liguilla. By the way, there is a very exciting fact in favor of the Rebaño Sagrado.
What is the most outstanding fact that emerges during this clash?
The last two times that Chivas was champion of Mexican soccer, they left the Diablos by the side of the road. That's right, ChivaHermanos, in both 2006 and 2017, the Scarlets were Chiverío's rivals in the kill-or-be-killed stage.
The most recent was in the Semifinals of the 2017 Clausura when Guadalajara eliminated Toluca by their better position in the overall standings when they finished tied at 2-2 after 180 minutes. In the 2006 Apertura, the Rebaño won their eleventh league title at the home of the Choriceros, beating them 2-3 on aggregate.
A curiosity of the last Liguilla in which they faced each other was that, as in 2017, in this tournament the previous opponent was Atlas. Not only that, but the result is the same, being 1-0 in the second leg of the Quarterfinals of CL17 and 0-1 on Day 17 of the Clausura 2024.
