Chivas debuted at home, but had a difficult time containing Tigres. The visiting team had not won against Chivas since the Apertura 2003, but broke the streak with a 3-1 win at the Jalisco Stadium. Itamar Batista helped his new team with two goals, while ‘Kikin’ Fonseca added another. Chivas’ lone goal was scored by ‘Chicharo’ Hernandez, and was not enough to prevent their second straight loss.
