Richard Ledezma's right foot, a lethal weapon for Guadalajara. | OneFootball

Chivas came out strong again in Week 13 of the 2025 Apertura, securing their fourth consecutive victory with a 2-0 win over Mazatlán. The Rebaño's performance was outstanding, as they created multiple dangerous chances and knew how to slow down the pace of the game when the Sinaloans tried to even the score, demonstrating control and mastery of Gabriel Milito's game plan.

On the other hand, Guadalajara's good run can also be explained by the high individual level of all the members of the squad, although today we will focus solely on someone who gave a lot to talk about against Mazatlán: Richard Ledezma.

In the 40th minute of the first half, the Rebaño Sagrado wingback recorded his third assist of the 2025 Apertura, sending an extraordinary cross to the far post that was finished off by Bryan González. But that wasn't all, as Ledezma became an important resource for Chivas and their generation of chances up front, sending dangerous crosses into the opposition's box.

His great vision has also allowed the Rebaño Sagrado to progress cleanly down the right wing, as he is able to command the team's possession and win individual duels. In the match against Mazatlán alone, Ledezma won all the duels he contested (5).

His statistics throughout the tournament also underscore his importance to Gabriel Milito's scheme, as he has played in 12 of the 13 games in the 2025 Apertura, accumulating 638 minutes. Richard Ledezma has 3 assists and 13 key passes, 6 shots on goal, 13 recoveries, 2 blocks, 211 successful passes, and 2 completed dribbles.

Ledezma's contribution is not only based on statistics, as he has found a way to make his teammates better through his qualities, compensating for the movements of the midfielders and reaching depth when required.
