Hernandez came about six yards off his line, where he made a great save that forced the ball over the top of the goal. With none of his teammates tracking his run up the field, Fabian got about 25 yards out when he decided to take a chance from the middle of the field. After the ball bounced around in the Chivas third of the field for a short period of time, it was successfully cleared.įabian nearly made it 2-0 in the 52nd, but his bid was denied by Atlas 'keeper Pedro Hernandez. One minute later, Atlas' Cesar Ibanez took a free kick from about 40 yards out. His attempted chip into the mouth of the opposing goal was saved by Michel to end the threat. About three minutes in, Morales took a corner aimed at Marco Fabian, but Fabian's shot was deflected.Ītlas' first chance after the break came in the 50th minute when Marioni advanced up the left flank. Just after the start of the second frame, Chivas began their push for a second goal. I think for the majority of the game, we were better than Chivas." "We had a lot of control of the game but lacked the concentration to win this type of game. This chance delivered an identical result, as Ochoa netted his second goal in six minutes to give Chivas a 3-1 edge with about six minutes remaining. Five minutes later, following a great through-ball, he broke free again. Midfielder Sergio Avila, who had just entered the match, fed Ochoa beautifully from the right side and the Chivas defender knocked it home for a pardon from the club's supporters, who had been jeering his every touch since his missed chance 15 minutes earlier. However, any euphoria for Los Zorros proved to be short-lived when Ochoa put Chivas ahead once again in the 79th minute. Marioni spent 12 games at Pachuca last season before returning to Atlas, where he now wears No. With Marioni set to leave for CF Pachuca in 2008, Atlas brought in Vargas to replace him and even gave him Marioni's old number, No. It was an interesting twist of fate that Vargas and Marioni combined for the tally. Marioni had five goals for Atlas in last year's InterLiga. ![]() With Michel on the far right side of the goal, Bruno Marioni stepped in untouched to punch the ball into the back of the net.

"We didn't get the opportunities in the first half, but fortunately this is the way that goal scorers are," Flores said. After Vaughn's whistle, the midfielder got under the ball to send it into the upper left corner of the goal for the score. Morales then calmly walked to where the ball was sitting, 12 yards from goal, for the PK. Morales' tally was set up after Atlas defender Nestor Vidrio was whistled for a handball inside the box by referee Terry Vaughn. However, only two of Atlas' efforts in the opening 45 minutes were on frame and thus saved by opposing goalkeeper Luis Ernesto Michel.Ĭhivas' lone highlight of the first half came in the 21st minute when Ramon Morales converted a penalty kick for the first goal of the evening. But we maintained the shape on the field and we ended up getting the goals."Ĭhivas took a 1-0 lead to the break despite being outshot 10-3 by Los Zorros. I don't think we let Atlas see too much of the ball. "I think that it was an intelligent game one way or another where we compromised the ball a little bit," he said. The opportunities will come and today, they came to me."Ĭhivas technical director Efrain Flores offered his own thoughts on the win. The important thing is to generate opportunities, to look for opportunities. "We had two classics in a row and the team played very well. "What can I say? Today was a big game," Ochoa said. ![]() ![]() Carlos Ochoa scored in the 79th and 84th minutes to lead CD Guadalajara to a 3-1 win over Atlas in an InterLiga Group B match at Pizza Hut Park on Tuesday night.
