Join us for minute-by-minute coverage of the Guadalajara vs. América match, Matchday 11 in the Liga MX Clausura, goals and more.
Final at AKRON
Chivas gets a valuable point against the Águilas, who will not be in the best of spirits for the return match of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Paulo Victor was also expelled
Jardine's assistant who threw the ball at the coach's location also leaves.
Espinoza expelled
The Chivas bench demanded the end of the match. One of Jardine's assistants threw a ball to get the game back on track and the Chivas coach lost his temper.
Tala again
Corner kick awarded after a double play, the ball reached the far post and the goalkeeper blocked it.
Paloooooooooo
A cross into the area for a solitary Reyes who finished, Rangel handled it, and the metal prevented it from entering.
Five minutes of added time are set for the conclusion of this meeting.
Hanging from the post
Chivas withdraws everyone into its area. América wants to win but there is no clarity.
Not that way
América tries to attack with crosses, but there is no precision. Chivas continues to do well, at the height of the circumstances.
They occupy variants
America presents different systems when defending than when attacking, but has not yet deciphered the ironclad 'Rojiblanca' defense.

What Romo was doing!
Romo won the back and with a fancy hat he stood before Cota. Reyes recovered well to cut off the danger.
They accommodated his ideas!
The match resumes with a free kick that Diego Valdés hits directly into Fernando González's head. The doctors are already entering to examine the midfielder.
It seems that the VAR will not intervene
Chivas asked for a review, the referee let a few minutes pass and told the Mexican-American to leave the field.
He stays with 10 Chivas!
Adonai Escobedo does not hesitate and expels Cade Cowell who left his studs in a split against Rodrigo Aguirre.

Warned Boy
The full-back committed a foul on Diego Valdés, who was "inflamed" by the action and had to be calmed down by the referee.
Cotaaaaaaaaaaa
Chivas make a great wall pass. 'Chicharito' passed it to 'Piojo' who ran into Cota.
No one gives in
The duel seems to be breaking down in midfield, but neither team is doing well in the final third.
Chivas "doesn't bite"
América passes the ball around in their zone, hoping that Chivas will press. The 'Rojiblancos' don't give in and wait to recover in their zone.
One more from Rangel!
Another free kick that América finishes off. This time Araujo doesn't make good contact and the goalkeeper keeps it.
Lack of Chavez
The young full-back committed another foul on Dilrosun. América asked for a second yellow card.
America wants to change the inertia
It is now the visitors who take possession of the ball and push forward. These first few minutes are again reminiscent of last Wednesday's game.
The 'Bear' warned
Fernando González committed a foul on Diego Valdés from behind and earned a preventive measure.
The complementary starts
The second half is now underway with the Eagles moving first.
The first part ends
Chivas is better, but has not been able to reflect it on the scoreboard.
Three minutes of added time are indicated in this first period.
What are you going to dress up as, 'Buffalo'!
From the free kick that was aimed at the previous play, the ball reached the far post and after a bounce, Aguirre shot without direction.
Chavez warned
The youth player #50 arrives late and steps on Javairo Dilrosun. Adonai did not hesitate to show the preventive.
Children's corner kick
Cervantes leaned back for his goalkeeper, and Cota with a poor control conceded a corner.
Cotaaaaaaaaaa
Chivas recovered the ball on the opposing court and 'Chicharito' continued to drive and feint until he unleashed a right-handed shot that Cota miraculously blocked.
Lack of creativity
America has space until it approaches three-quarters of the field. There they suffocate.
Oleeeeeeee
'Tala' Rangel lets the 'Buffalo' get to him, makes a cut on the goal line and receives a standing ovation from the crowd present.
The three-time champion looks overwhelmed
Chivas is much better in the match, the Eagles look outclassed in both facets of the game. They can't find themselves.
It passes sooooooo close!
Great counterattack by Chivas that ends with 'Piojo' receiving the ball in the area and unleashing a left-footed shot that went wide.
They begin to retreat
Similar to what happened midweek, Chivas delays its lines waiting for the Eagles in its zone, without allowing spaces.
America seeks to lower the revolutions
The visiting team has longer possessions that help to cut off the opponent's momentum.
Chivas is better
America looks very lackluster and the home team takes advantage of this, looking much more comfortable and dangerous on the field.
We almost sang the Olympic!
Another corner kick that Alvarado now takes even more tightly. Cota leans on the metal to spit out the ball.
Another one from 'Chicharo'!
Alvarado took a corner kick to the near post. The veteran striker won the shot and a miraculous deflection gave way to another corner.
A lot of intensity
América presses high looking to provoke the error. Adonai commits a foul by Dávila on Tapias.
Talaaaaaa!
América wove a wonderful play with Valdés filtering for the 'Búfalo' and goalkeeper Rangel narrowed it down to prevent the danger.
Hard contact on Cervantes
In a divided ball area, the Mexican from the Eagles was left very injured after colliding with José Castillo.
The Buffalo is escaping
The Uruguayan was behind the centre-backs, but lost control inside the area.
What are you doing Cota!
Counterattack looking for space for 'Chicharito'. Cota came out and cut in but the ball fell to Alvarado. 'Piojo' shot low and Cota had already returned.
First warning
Javier Hernández received the ball with his back to the goal and turned around to take a shot that went wide. Offside was indicated.
The stands make themselves felt
Loud booing for the yellow-clad players whenever they come into contact with the ball.
The match begins!
Adonai Escobedo blows his whistle and the home team puts the ball into circulation.
