Chivas vs America is the most famous fixture on the domestic calendar. It pits the fame and fortune of the Mexico City giants against the all-Mexican side from Guadalajara – Mexico’s second city. They are the two most successful sides in the country.
The game is currently mid-way through the first half, and both sides have had chances to score further goals – only great saves from the two ‘keepers have kept the score down.
America could go level Chivas and three other sides at the top of the Liga MX on 25 points if they win, while Chivas could go three points clear if they win.
