When One Bad Bounce Seals The Deal
The ‘Rebaño Sagrado’ were absolutely pushing the pace, trying to get those three points to keep themselves right up there at the top. The only score of the entire game went down in the 77th minute, and man, it was a tough break for Necaxa. Their Uruguayan defender, Agustín Oliveros, accidentally knocked the ball right into his own net. Talk about unlucky!
Chivas Climbs, Necaxa Stumbles
That 1-0 result bumped Chivas up to a sweet 23 points, solidifying their hold on that second-place spot. Meanwhile, Necaxa is still stuck in 17th with a measly 9 points. That’s gotta sting.
