Puebla left it all out there defensively and it nearly worked. They took the lead going into the break and looked good value for it at half-time, catching Chivas cold with a sharp finish that had the home crowd at Estadio Cuauhtemoc buzzing. But Chivas kept knocking, and eventually the pressure told. The visitors dominated the ball for long stretches and just wouldn't stop pushing forward, and that persistence paid off with an equaliser that made it 1-1 by full time. Roberto Alvarado was the difference-maker for Guadalajara, pulling strings all night and picking up the Man of the Match award for his trouble, an 8.7 rating that tells its own story. Chivas piled forward relentlessly, racking up shot after shot compared to Puebla's handful of efforts, but couldn't quite find a winner. A point apiece, then, on Saturday, 1 August 2026 - fair enough for Puebla given how the second half went, but Chivas will feel like the two points that got away.
The Matchup
It finished 1-1 between Puebla and Chivas Guadalajara at Estadio Cuauhtémoc, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Puebla holding 35% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
