This Friday's duel between Chivas and Xolos looks to be very attractive, as in addition to all the footballing aspects that both teams showed on matchday 1, there are several points that make this duel promising.
Tijuana recently has recently hired a new coach and an old acquaintance of Mexican soccer, since in addition to having coached the Mexican National Team in the Russia 2018 World Cup, he also had a brief stint with Puebla in Liga MX. We are talking about Juan Carlos Osorio and below we are going to remember how he fared against the Rebaño Sagrado in that match on Game Day 9 of the 2012 Clausura.
It was Sunday, March 4, 2012, when Guadalajara, coached by Ignacio Ambriz, visited Cuauhtémoc Stadium to face La Franja. The match kicked off with a great goal by Luis García at 44', who, after a tremendous control with his chest, sent the ball into the back of the net to give the home team the lead.
The Red and White response came in the second half, as at 51' Héctor Reynoso equalized the score from the penalty spot and 8 minutes later Chivas' comeback came to fruition, thanks to an own goal by Diego Cervantes caused by a shot from outside the area by 'Chatón' Enriquez.
The Red-and-White goal...
- Osorio was coach of a player from the current Chiverío squad, when he was national team coach he called up Javier Hernández for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
