Chivas could have moved up to the 7th spot in the Liga MX and be a solid contender to the playoffs with a win today, unfortunately, Chivas once again struggled to find the net. Gallardo scored for Chivas in the first half, but after that, Chivas really struggled in the last third of the field. Jaguares did not give up and went on the attack, eventually getting the 1-1 result; Michel saved Chivas from a disastrous loss.
Chivas now has 17 points and is situated in the 8th spot of the Liga MX standings, although there are still other teams who have not played their Week 13 matches. Looking at the history of the last couple of years in the Liga MX, Chivas needs to get at least 8 more points to secure a playoff spot. With just 4 games remaining, this looks like a difficult task, though very achievable. Chivas will face Atlante, Atlas, Queretaro and Xolos; the first three games is where Chivas needs to get the points (those three teams are ranked #14, #16 and #18). If Chivas comes into the last game of the season against Xolos having to win to get into the playoffs, it could be in deep trouble.
