Armando Gonzalez graduated to Liga MX tonight and with a hat trick became the “Super Hormiga” that propelled Chivas to a 4-1 route of Atlas in the 294th edition of the Guadalajara derby that allows the red and whites to get into the playoff zone directly.

A game that the young Guadalajara forward asked for, who led a complete duel for the Guadalajara team led by Argentine Gabriel Milito, who knew how to counter the style of the red and blacks and thus head towards victory number 96 in this rivalry.

The way they approached the game allowed Chivas to take control of the match from the beginning of the action with the first goal by the Ant nine minutes into the action that set everything up for the great night of the Mexican forward who with his three goals tied for the lead in scoring in the Apertura 2025 tournament with ten goals against Toluca's Portuguese Paulinho.

With the three goals, Armando Gonzalez became the seventh player in the history of the Clasico Guadalajara to score a hat-trick and the most recent was Alexis Vega in the Clausura 2019, with which the current axis of the Rebano Sagrado's attack put his name in capital letters in the history of this classic.

Atlas dominant from start to finish

Chivas del Guadalajara arrived and saw that Atlas did not have much in his backpack, so when they smelled blood they went for his jugular from the first minutes and thus began to write history in this important victory.

The first warning came at six minutes with a shot from Santiago Sandoval that went just wide of the post of Santiago Sandoval's goal and then came the goal from Armando "Hormiga" Gonzalez when Efrain Alvarez sent a cross that Hormiga herself managed to center between the Defenders Paulo Ramirez and Diego Gonzalez managed to get between them to finish at the near post to make it 1-0.

Gonzalez got motivated and after 15 minutes he had the 2-0, but Adrian Mora managed to clear the ball and prevent it from falling into his goal.But Chivas was ready to take advantage of Atlas's opportunities and in the 27th minute Luis Romo broke into the area from the right to face goalkeeper Camilo Vargas to finish on the exit and make it 2-0. Atlas was just beginning to recover when Armando Gonzalez scored his second goal in the 29th minute to make it 3-0 when Fernando “Oso” Gonzalez sent a cross into the area and defender Sergio Hernandez blocked it, colliding with Camilo Vargas so that the ball hit the crossbar and on the rebound, Hormiga Gonzalez headed it in to make it 3-1. That was the end of the classic, because in the second half Atlas started with a slight reaction, but Chivas definitely had control of the actions and allowed Hormiga Gonzalez to score his third goal on a service from Piojo Alvarado on the right side where he reached by sliding over the exit of the red and black goalkeeper and over him he managed to finish and send the ball to the post on the other side and the ball went into the net.

Atlas then came close to reducing the gap in a play where they called for a penalty, but it ended up being declared outside the area until in the 62nd minute Mateo Garcia managed to finish off a pass into space and beat Tala Rangel for the goal of honor that left the final score 4-1 when the damage had already been done and the red-and-black pride was very battered in one of the games that are forbidden to lose in the championship, but where Chivas was far superior and just took the 294th edition of the classic Tapatio.
