After tournament after tournament of disappointing Super Clasicos, America and Chivas are finally turning in an entertaining match in 2011. Erick “Cubo” Torres scored a header in the first half to put Chivas in front, but America have had plenty of chances to equalize. Though these games have not been open at all in the past, based on the lineups and styles of play of these teams throughout this tournament, the match has been predictably open.
Chivas Vs. America 2011, Super Clasico: Goats Lead 1-0 At Halftime Through Erick “Cubo” Torres
After Torres scored, America had an own goal by Chivas correctly disallowed for offsides on Vicente Sanchez while they had another ball cleared off the line. Since the Torres goal, they’ve actually looked like the more dangerous team, and they look poised to score. Chivas aren’t providing much of a challenge in the center, so Carlos Reinoso could feel inclined to bring off a midfield player for Vicente Vuoso in the second half to truly put the pressure on Chivas.
