Life stops for many soccer fans when the Guadalajara Chivas take on their perennial rivals, America of Mexico City.
In a rare occurrence, the teams met twice in the space of five days last week: March 12 in the Copa MX in the capital, and again at the Akron Stadium in Guadalajara on March 16 in the Liga MX.
To the dismay of Chivas fans, America won both games 2-0. Above, America’s goalkeeper Agustin Marchesin celebrates his team’s second goal in last Saturday’s triumph.
