Clásico Nacional: Chivas vs. América in Arizona This Saturday

GLENDALE, Arizona – This Saturday, October 11, at 9 p.m. CST, Chivas will face América at the State Farm Stadium as part of the Tour Rebaño 2025. Although this match is just a friendly, the long-standing rivalry between the clubs creates a charged atmosphere, with fans eager for a high-stakes Clásico Nacional.

One of the key storylines will be Javier Hernández, known as Chicharito, who has never scored against América in his career. This elusive goal has haunted him since his early days in professional soccer, and as he nears the end of his career, it seems more challenging to achieve.

“Today could be the day,” Hernández said before the match. “I’ve shown great commitment lately, and I’m determined to break that streak.” His teammates are expected to support him, potentially setting him up for key passes or even conceding a penalty, understanding the symbolic weight of this moment for the historic striker.

However, there are questions about whether scoring in a friendly holds the same significance as in an official Clásico. While any goal would bring joy to the fans, some believe it would not carry the same weight. The anticipation builds as game time approaches.

In other news, reports suggest that Hernández may soon head to the English Championship to wrap up his European career before considering retirement.
