Chivas de Guadalajara Triumphs Over Cibao FC in CONCACAF Champions Cup

2025-03-01

Chivas de Guadalajara secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Cibao FC in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup first-round tie, advancing to the round of 16 with a 4-1 aggregate score. The match, held at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, saw the Mexican side dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities.

Chivas took the lead in the first half with a goal from Fernando Beltrán, who capitalized on a well-executed team play. Javier “Chicharito” Hernández doubled the advantage with a clinical finish, assisted by Yael Padilla. The third goal came from Armando González, sealing the victory and ensuring Chivas’ progression to the next round, where they will face América.

Cibao FC, the Dominican champions, struggled to match Chivas’ intensity and were reduced to 10 players after Camilo Mancilla was sent off for a handball. Despite their efforts, Cibao failed to capitalize on their limited chances, with Rivaldo Correa, their key striker, largely neutralized by Chivas’ defense.

This victory marks Chivas’ continued dominance over Cibao, having previously defeated them 7-0 on aggregate in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions Cup. Cibao, participating in only their second Champions Cup campaign, will now turn their focus to domestic competitions.

The match highlighted Chivas’ superior quality and tactical discipline, setting the stage for an exciting clash against América in the next round.
