Chivas streak is over! America blows Queretaro away! More from week 9
Chivas traveled to Chiapas to take on a Jaguares team who hasn’t won a game at home since sometime last year. They went in looking for 9 wins in a row. Chiapas came out playing well, and the Chivas offense couldn’t get anything going, all attempts to fast offensive runs were shut down by the Jaguares defense. The first goal came from a long distance shot. Michel could do nothing to stop it, even though he dived to make some sort of attempt.
Then the onslaught came on in the 2nd half. Chiapas scored 3 more goals and the game finished 4-0. Something to note in this game is that Omar Bravo seems to be a frustrated little man. He didn’t get a good ball in the first half and threw a little fit at Omar Esparza. Then he made sure he walked out to complain to the ref after the game. I hear it was his birthday and with him missing out on any National Team call ups, he is probably very frustrated. Bofo needs to do more than what he is. He is hailed as a Cuauhtemoc type of player, but is not amounting to anything.
In other match ups, Cruz Azul is getting back on track, beating San Luis. Blas Perez is still semi alive as he did score the only goal for San Luis. Haven’t heard much from Braulio Luna as of late. Monterrey is riding high, and catching up to Chivas. They beat Pachuca, and it seems like they are losing their powerhouse image. Miguel Calero is losing his ability to be cocky. Sort of like Atlante goalkeeper, Federico Vilar, who lost their game vs Santos on Sunday. Atlas and Toluca tied. Estudiantes received another loss against Morelia, and had no excuses this time. They just aren’t that good, no matter what Piojo Herrera thinks.
On Sunday there were more goals, this time from Club America. They put Queretaro away 6 goals to 0. It must have been embarrassing for coach Carlos Reinoso that he couldn’t stand to watch any longer so he decided to get himself thrown out of the game and then suspended for 3 games. In Juarez it was the “Relegation League” as Tigres and Indios threw down. Tigres won 1-0 even suffering 2 red cards in the game. Things are not good in Juarez.
This was an exciting weekend of play in the Mexican league. Next week should be more of the same. Chivas will take on Pumas in Jalisco, as they try to recover from their first loss of the season.
