Chivas del Guadalajara rose from the ashes and when everyone was predicting the end of Argentine coach Gabriel Milito's project, they managed to score a miraculous 3-3 draw, recovering from a 3-0 deficit against Xolos de Tijuana at the start of the sixth day of the 2025 Apertura tournament of Liga MX.

A result undoubtedly achieved more by the pride of a squad that refused to throw away the harp and was able to get this tie that no one would have imagined after the Xolos had the tapatios down by three goals thanks to goals from Gilberto Mora, the Belgian born in Cameroon Frank Thierry Boya and an own goal by Luis Romo until the 74th minute of elapsed time.

Even the majority of the Rebano Sagrado fans gathered at the Caliente Stadium left the building, but later seemed to return to the scene of the game in this border plaza thinking that everything was resolved and where no one bet a peso on the tapatios, but that finally achieved one of those results that occur very rarely in a brave reaction.

Said tie avoided a catastrophe for coach Gabriel Milito, especially since a slip-up would have meant the third consecutive adverse result and would have generated in the high command of the red and white team one of those drastic decisions putting at risk the continuity of the South American strategist.

But at the moment in the 90 + 4 minute was played, Roberto "Piojo" Alvarado appeared from the bench to round out the last 20 minutes of a game that seemed to be in the bag of the Tijuananenses and in the end it could be said that they got confident, but the reality is that Guadalajara put in what they had not put in previous games and that was self-respect.

Las Chivas refused to die

Perhaps driven by that self-respect very hidden in recent tournaments, Chivas gave the impression of shooting themselves in the foot with three goals conceded in a job that Gilberto Mora started at the beginning of the match in the fourth minute.

As if that were not enough, Tijuana kept the game on the rocks until the 74th minute, when Guadalajara remembered that they had come to play, thus setting in motion three goals in the last 20 minutes and with them snatching a victory that seemed assured.

Milito had a lot of responsibility when he moved his starting lineup with the presence from the beginning of the actions of Sergio Sandoval, Miguel Tapias, Gilberto Sepulveda and Diego Campillo, who had a great time in the first half.

For that reason, the defensive errors were evident with Chivas and the failure was very noticeable in the first goal of the night scored by Gilberto Mora, the Mexican wonder kid who continues to generate offense and scored his fifth goal in 8 duels.

Thus Chivas achieved a result that often happens in matches, but now they could have achieved it with more attitude, but with a lack of a clearer football proposal that suggests things will improve for the Guadalajara team.
