Ecuadorian winger Renato Ibarra Mina sent a low cross in from the right channel and Nicolås Castillo edged in front of Chivas captain Jair Pereira to smash home his header in the third minute.

30-year-old midfielder JesĂșs Molina was shown a straight red card for stepping on an opponent in the 37th minute.

Molina came in from behind and trod on the back of an AmĂ©rica player’s ankle when he has his foot planted on the ground. ear the mid-field stripe.

The Mexico City side were similarly energetic to start the second half against their national rivals.

Colombian forward AndrĂ©s IbargĂŒen doubled the azulcrema advantage just five minutes after the half-time break.

IbargĂŒen cut inside on right back JosĂ© Van Rankin before firing a shot on frame that goalkeeper RaĂșl Gudiño will want back.

Chivas failed to score but did force AmĂ©rica’s defence to stay alert until the final minute.

In the 88th minute, substitute forward Luis Madrigal attempted an acrobatic overhead kick that goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín was able to get behind.

Deep in stoppage time, the azulcrema shot-stopper came off his line to break up an attack from Ronaldo Cisneros.

With the victory, Club AmĂ©rica improve to 19 points in the Liga MX table but also claim bragging rights over their rival. It’s no small feat to win back-to-back SĂșper ClĂĄsicos within the same week and that’s something AmĂ©rica fans will not let Chivas forget for a while.

On the other hand, the pair of 2-0 losses puts Chivas manager JosĂ© Cardozo’s position in jeopardy. Guadalajara remain on 15 points in the league and slip down to 11th place in the table on goal difference.
