The ESPN journalist, Adal Franco, denounced improper line up in the American, but Chivas would not make the claim and the reasons are uncovered

The sports analyst for ESPN Mexico, Adal Franco, on his Twitter account warned that in the MX League, America had two players registered with the same number, Álvaro Fidalgo and Jonathan Dos Santos, who appeared with the number 8 something he called the attention and that he denounced after the duel of the national classic between Guadalajara and Águilas. Chivas would not claim said error in the League MX website.

Chivas, after said error made on the League Mx website, would be updated and it can be seen that the saints were already with number 6 while Álvaro Fidalgo with number 8, but this insight could be treated ex officio according to the arbitration commission , but he would not have intentions of claiming before the federation to avoid conflicts of interest with the national elections committee to which he belongs.

The president and owner of Chivas, Amaury Vergara, is aware that thanks to the agreements he has reached as part of the selection committee together with Emilio Azcárraga, owner of América, he cannot enter into controversy, much less generate controversy in this type of incident. something that could harm the relationship between both managers and the project they have for the Mexican National Team.

On the other site, America has not expressed itself in this regard either, since Jonathan dos Santos and Álvaro Fidalgo would have different numbers, so beyond the claim or error in the system of the MX League page, in the official record of the tournament an erroneous numbering is not recorded and therefore there would be no such misalignment.

Could Chivas win at the table after checking improper line up?

According to the regulations of the Mexican soccer federation, when a team commits an improper alignment, it is grounds for sanction to remove the points if they had won and also add those goals to the rival team. If the case had been investigated, Chivas could have won all three points of the national classic against America.
