Chivas de Guadalajara defeated Aguilas del America 1-2 at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. El Rebano Sagrado made a good impression against a well-oiled team like Andre Jardine's.

El Rebano Sagrado was in last place in the general table. With this latest victory, they moved up to 11th place in the 2025 Apertura. Chivas are now 3 points away from the playoff spots.

Gabriel Milito and Matias Almeyda

After the victory in the Clasico Nacional, Gabriel Milito went from being questioned to being compared to Matias Almeyda, one of the fondest memories for the club's fans. Twelve coaches have come and gone, and Gabriel Milito achieved a feat that hadn't been repeated since the "Pelado" era.

Matias Almeyda won his first Clasico Nacional. El "Pelado" debuted with a 2-1 win with goals from Omar Bravo and a goal from Oswaldo Martinez. No coach had been able to win his first Clasico since then, until Milito took all three points at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
