Prior to the start of the match, Chivas had already booked their place in the knockout stage of the Copa MX.

However, their objective tonight was to take all three points and earn the second seed heading into next week’s round-of-16.

Their Ascenso MX opponents, Cafetaleros, needed all three points to advance to the knockout stage.

In the end, neither team achieved what they wanted and both sides left the stadium disappointed.

Though the underdogs struck first through Rolando Gonzalez just before the half-time whistle, Alejandro Zendejas ruined their fun in the 71st minute to share the spoils.

The highlight of the match was undoubtedly the debut of 18-year-old Chivas prospect Sebastián Martínez, who came on in the 70th minute for his first 20+ minutes as a professional.

Chivas will be back in action on Saturday as they travel to Pachuca for an important Liga MX showdown.
