Atlas seeks to become champion of the Liga MX again and for now takes an important step to reach the semifinals of the Clausura 2022 Tournament. In the second leg against Chivas, the “Zorros” managed to get ahead on the scoreboard just before the break, thanks to the annotation of Aníbal Chalá.
Referee Fernando Hernández Gómez had added five minutes to the first half at the Jalisco Stadium and the teams did not stop attacking in those moments. Only the most precise and intelligent squad was going to be able to take advantage of the spaces, since there was a great dispute in the middle of the field.
It was thus that the ball reached the feet of Aldo Rocha, captain of Atlas who spotted a space behind the Chivas defense. The midfielder quickly leaked a pass between the lines to exploit the speed of Aníbal Chalá, who is serving as a lane on the left wing.
The Ecuadorian soccer player took several meters ahead of his closest marker and made a cross shot with his left foot. The goalkeeper Raúl Gudiño, who had replaced Miguel Jiménez (35′), could not do anything to prevent the goal and there was a great lament among the players of the ‘Sacred Flock’.
Let’s remember that in the first leg, Atlas had won 2-1 on the road and now has more comfort in the series. Chivas needs to react soon and reverse the key, although until now those led by Ricardo Cadena have not shown good effectiveness in the offensive zone.
