Chivas de Guadalajara were on the brink of elimination from post-season participation prior to kick-off and ensured that fate by the final whistle.

Tomás Boy’s second Liga MX match at the helm was the team’s last shot at making the Liguilla in Clausura 2019.

Chivas hosted Puebla at Akron Stadium on Saturday night for matchday 15 in Liga MX and took the lead after twenty minutes.

Colombian left back Brayan Angulo put the ball into his own net before scoring twice for Puebla.

La Franja’s twitter account was feeling comfortable enough at 2-1 to joke about Angulo three first-half goals.

Veteran Argentine attacker Matías Alustiza scored the poblano’s third goal just after half-time.

The disappointing result officially eliminated the rojiblancos from Liguilla contention while Puebla pushed Tijuana out of eighth place.

Chivas have not won a Liga MX game since February 16 against local rival Atlas, racking up seven losses and a scoreless draw in that time.
