Robinho Romero: Safe hands in the Chivas Under-21 goal | OneFootball

Great goalkeepers step up in decisive moments, and Robinho Romero is proof of that. The goalkeeper was crucial for Chivas U-21 in the penalty shootout against Pumas. After a scoreless draw on Matchday 8 of the Apertura 2026, he came through by saving two spot kicks and earning Guadalajara the extra point.

He also delivered an important performance during the 90 minutes. Romero answered the call between the posts and made some standout interventions, such as in the 14th minute, when he pushed a shot out for a corner to prevent his goal from falling and keep El Rebaño in the fight for the result.

Numbers that confirm his reliability in goal

In the Apertura 2026, Robinho has played 7 matches, all as a starter. He has totaled 630 minutes and kept 3 clean sheets, while conceding only 7 goals in the tournament.

Key to the U-21 title run

His strong form also has a recent precedent. During the Clausura 2026 playoffs, Romero allowed just 2 goals and kept 4 clean sheets in the 6 matches that led Guadalajara to the category title.

A goalkeeper with solid potential

The performances of Robinho Romero continue to make him an important piece in Luis Arce’s system. His ability to deliver in decisive moments and the confidence he inspires between the posts reflect the growth of a goalkeeper who continues to gain prominence from the Cantera Rojiblanca.
