Argentine coach Gabriel Milito’s Chivas de Guadalajara defeated Juárez FC 1-0 on Tuesday with a last-minute goal and jumped to the top of the Clausura 2026 Mexican soccer tournament.
Yael Padilla took advantage of a defensive lapse, accepted a service from Ricardo Marín, entered the box and left-footed the ball into the net to settle an even match corresponding to the second matchday. Both teams missed opportunities to take advantage in the first half, in which they neutralized each other.
Jurado prevented the goal, Juárez forgave and Padilla scored the final goal
In the second half, they came out again in search of goals and it was Chivas who let a good offensive play go in the 58th minute.
This was when goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado cleared a shot by Bryan González.
Portugal’s Ricardinho came close to scoring Juarez’s goal in the 77th minute, but his header went wide.
When it looked like a draw was just a matter of time, Padilla converted to give Chivas their second win in two outings and lift them into the lead.
A couple of hours earlier, Venezuelan Salomón Rondón scored his first goal of the year to give the Pachuca Tuzos a 2-1 win over León.
Moroccan Oussama Idrissi and ‘King’ Salomón scored for Argentine coach Esteban Solari’s Tuzos, while Argentine Rogelio Funes Mori scored for León.
