Chivas de Guadalajara vs Club América: Exciting Friendly Match Set for Sunday

On Sunday, October 13, 2024, two of Mexico’s most storied soccer clubs, Chivas de Guadalajara and Club América, will face off in an exciting friendly match. The game, which will not count towards the Liga MX standings, is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 PM ET at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

Chivas de Guadalajara, currently ninth in the Liga MX table with 15 points from 11 matches, is seeking its first win since September 18. The team has had a tumultuous period, including a recent 3-2 loss to Atlas and the departure of their star coach, Fernando Gago, who left to manage Boca Juniors in Argentina. The fans have expressed significant dissatisfaction with the team’s performance and the coaching changes.

Club América, sitting 10th in the Liga MX table with 14 points from 11 matches, has also had a mediocre season by their standards. Despite this, they managed to win the Campeones Cup this summer by defeating the Columbus Crew of the MLS in penalties. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw against León, thanks to a late goal by Rodrigo Aguirre.

The match between these two bitter rivals promises to be a thrilling encounter. The last time they met, on September 14, Club América secured a 1-0 victory with a goal from Ramon Juarez Del Castillo. Fans can watch the game live on Telemundo or stream it for free through a trial on Fubo, or via Amazon Prime Video.
