Sparks from some players and victory
Again Raúl Gudiño It was important, because it covered some attacks from the locals, but the most important was in the second half when the Brazilian Camilo Sanvezzo he was encouraged to shoot from outside the area, but the goalkeeper managed to send the ball out.
Alan Torres He also gave a great game, recovering the ball and counting on an important sweep that prevented the fall of the rojiblanco goal when the rival was close to shooting Gudiño.
Finally, the both of Zaldivar, who took advantage of a defensive error by Carlos Vargas placeholder image to settle in and take a shot from outside the area that beat the Uruguayan Nicolas Vikonis.
The most important thing was to achieve victory, because they avoided an early failure and thus no longer depends on the other clubs, unlike the Gunners who will have to wait for the fall of Athletic San Luis, Pachuca and Cougars.
Little desire to go out to win
Although the Guadalajara the victory was won, one must be objective and accept that they did not show a face that really wanted victory, since there were few approaches of danger, without anyone taking the lead to organize or encourage to go to the front.
Several of the ‘important’ players still do not stand out and the most surprising thing was that the first shot on goal was given until the 61st minute by Gilberto Sepulveda, a defender.
If the team continues in the same way, it will be quickly thrown in the play-off.
Lost balls that cost kickbacks
In the first half, a failure of Jesus Molina generated that they caught a bad stop behind Guadalajara, with Daniel amador entering the area alone to face Raúl Gudiño, who avoided the goal, although he scored a penalty.
The referee Jorge Isaác Rojas went to VAR to review the action and reversed his decision, as the goalkeeper touched the ball first before hitting the rival’s humanity, ending the scare.
A similar action came from Isaác Brizuela, who lost the ball and again the Mazatlecos ended up inside the area with the intention of shooting at the goal.
Playing without a ‘9’
The technician Michel Leaño married his scheme of last engagements and decided to place Cesar Huerta As the axis of the attack, however, it is not a position in which you feel comfortable, therefore, it was never fixed and was moving from side to side.
Similarly, his companions on the attack, Uriel antuna and Ricardo AnguloThey were never able to find someone within the area, but in the end neither of them managed to intensely disturb their band, as El Brujo barely got two good centers.
In itself the rojiblancos are fought with the goal and it is not useful to have a natural ‘9’ that is on the bench as The cello, Ronaldo Cisneros, Jesus Godinez or Oribe Peralta.
Late and ineffective changes
Leaño’s first changes came in the second half, right at 57 ‘to give entry to Alejandro Mayorga placeholder image by Miguel Ponce, in an effort to generate arrivals on the left wing, however, that did not happen because El Alacrán was easily stopped.
In the same way, Alexis vega took the place of Fernando Beltran without having a notable change, as Gru was off until he put the goal assist.
It was finally until 76 ‘that he was encouraged to send a real’ 9 ‘with Zaldivar, who had only touched a ball when he scored, with three minutes remaining to finish the game, which speaks of how late it was to make the changes.
At 85 ‘he decided to send Christian Calderon, who is still missing, now Ronaldo Cisneros, another striker who should deserve more minutes and not be thrown into the ring when time runs out.
