Chivas came out of the blocks firing at the Estadio Akron, storming into a 3-0 lead by half-time and putting this Liga MX clash well beyond Tijuana inside forty-five minutes. The hosts showed no mercy in the second half either, adding two more goals to seal a convincing 5-2 victory. Tijuana did manage to pull back a couple of goals late on, but it proved little more than a consolation as Chivas maintained their dominance throughout. The rout reflected a clear gulf in class on the day, with Chivas's attacking intent never wavering even after they'd established such a commanding advantage. For Tijuana, there's little to take away from the performance beyond the two goals they managed to grab. It's a heavy defeat to recover from, though Chivas will be pleased with such an impressive showing in front of their home crowd.
