Tonight at 7 pm ET, Chivas and America contest the 2011 Clausura’s version of the Super Bowl. Yes, the Liguilla final is a big deal, but more people watch this game on television than even the final. The rivalry between Chivas and America is the kind of thing that people who aren’t even interested in sports at all, let alone football, can get into. Their match in the 2010 Apertura was a downright putrid affair, but this time, Chivas have a bright young star up top and both teams have more to play for. Hopefully, the Super Clasico renews its luster.
Chivas Vs. America 2011, Super Clasico: Mexican Giants Fight For Liguilla At Estadio Omnilife
Chivas struggled to replace Chicharito’s scoring output in the last tournament, but the emergence of young Erick Torres has brought them back from the dead into Liguilla contention. His presence, coupled with America’s leaky defense should allow for an entertaining game. The big news on the other side is that America’s star striker Vicente Vuoso will be benched to start the match, despite being healthy. Vicente Sanchez, who scored a brace last week against Puebla, is expected to get the start over Vuoso.
Stay tuned to this stream, as we’ll have much more on the Clasico in the buildup to the match, including live coverage of the game and insight from SB Nation’s Mexican football blog, FMF State Of Mind.
