They were playing at home, they had everything to win, and yet, Chivas knew how to maintain the advantage and advanced to the semifinals, in what is the first tournament for Fernando Gago directing in Mexican soccer.
And everything is now joy for Chivas, since they achieved the final objective, which was to advance to the semifinals, the moment could have been perfect if Javier: the ‘Chicharito’ Hernández had taken advantage of the last play of the game.
The ball had been left at his mercy, it was him vs. the goalkeeper and the goal, the one that he had made holes in so many times, in Guadalajara, Europe and the entire world, but he failed to convert and the cry for a goal was drowned out in a happy night, that could have been perfect.
