Guadalajara took advantage of Matchday 6 of the Apertura 2024 to show its growing footballing improvement and, in turn, give a blow of authority to the table in the Apertura 2024. The 5-0 thrashing of Bravos helped the Rebaño Sagrado to gain confidence and fine-tune details for what lies ahead.
What were the keys to the victory?
- The Chiverío had a good percentage of success in front of goal and that was enough to get the better of the Borderers.
- It is more than evident that Guadalajara is making great game plans, as they usually find the areas that hurt their opponents quickly.
- Fernando Gago and his players have designed clear mechanisms to progress in attack. Each element is clear about where the teammate is, which makes it easier for the Rebaño to find clean, aggressive passes.
- The Rebaño is defending better and better and this is due to several factors. The first is that they are better organized to attack, which allows them to be well positioned when they lose the ball. The other is individual moments, as they tend to win balls in the air and make many blocks in the box.
