Jesus Ricardo Angulo's goal sealed an epic comeback for Chivas over FC Juarez

After Fernando Arce's 7th minute goal, Chivas' fate seemed sealed until the 44th minute of the match, when Alejandro Arribas tried to deflect a shot that was going to Hugo Gonzalez's goal with his head. 

However, Arribas did not measure the ball well and caused a rebound that ended in their own goal, which gave Chivas the confidence to get closer and closer to the Bravos' goal. 

The second goal of the match was scored by a player who has recently gained a much-deserved prominence in Club Deportivo Guadalajara: Alexis Vega

Not only had he led several of his team's attacks on the opponent's goal, but he was also a fundamental part of his teammates' attacking depth and his efforts were rewarded in the 83rd minute when he took the ball on the left flank.

In doing so, the player evaded a defender and with a powerful and precise shot, beat the goalkeeper to make it 2-1. 

And finally, in the 87th minute, Alexis Vega made the left flank his racetrack to send a precise cross to "Canelo" Angulo, who arrived alone to finish the ball off to make it 3.1 for Chivas, who were so inspired that they didn't even realize they were missing a man on the field. 

In the 53rd minute, Gilberto Sepúlveda was sent off, but the Rebaño Sagrado did not feel his absence for even a minute.

During the month of January, it was known thanks to press reports that Orlando City SC was very interested in Angulo and wanted to take him to the MLS

However, the player declared that same month that he was not leaving Chivas. His words were:

"I am not leaving Chivas. I am focused on the club, I want to win important things, I am focused on making a career, on making a name for myself in the institution, to remain in the history of Chivas and return a little of the joy they give me".
