Chivas beat América in Oakland! | OneFootball

Oakland, California.- Guadalajara once again played great soccer against its fiercest rival and deservedly claimed Mexico’s Clásico in Oakland. As part of the Tour Rebaño 2026, Chivas took the field at the Coliseum determined to defeat Las Águilas, and with a brace from Ángel Sepúlveda, they did just that with a 2-0 win before a sellout crowd of more than 60,000 fans, the vast majority of them rojiblancos.

The Rebaño Sagrado showed its usual movement and ball control from the opening whistle, and throughout the 90 minutes maintained its shape to control the pace of the match and limit the azulcrema side’s attacking play. In addition to the win, the night was especially memorable for four young players from the Cantera Rojiblanca, as Carlos Hernández, Leonel Calderón, Rodrigo Parra and Jesús Hernández got their first minutes with Guadalajara’s First Team.

With this victory, Gabriel Milito remains unbeaten in the 9 clásicos he has coached against América and Atlas, with 7 wins and 2 draws. Starting this Monday, Chivas will prepare to resume Liga MX action and face its city neighbor in a new edition of the Clásico Tapatío, which will take place this Saturday, October 10, at Estadio Jalisco.

The goals:

- ¡SEPU DOESN’T MISS! After a handball by Alejandro Zendejas inside the box that the referee awarded as a penalty in the 13th minute, Ángel Sepúlveda took responsibility from the spot and struck it with authority to send the ball straight into the net. * WHAT A GOAL BY ‘SEPU’! Just 10 minutes later, Chivas put on a masterclass in tight spaces and, after a series of quick passes down the right flank, Rubén González delivered a ball to the edge of the box where Ángel Sepúlveda headed it toward Malagón’s far post and buried it.

The dangerous chances:

- Great debut! In just the 3rd minute, a cross from Leonel Calderón nearly found the back of the net.- In the 18th minute, a shot from midfield by Kevin Castañeda was saved by Malagón, who pushed the ball out for a corner.- The third almost came! In the 67th minute, a pass from Efraín Álvarez found the head of Leonel Calderón, whose effort was headed toward the azulcrema net.- In the 79th minute, a Rebaño shot came very close to beating the opposing goalkeeper, in another Chivas chance that came just short of turning the win into a rout.
