It is the second time it beats Chivas 4-0 at home against one of Mexico’s more popular teams that draws packs of fans everywhere. Those fans and the Xoloitzcuintles favorite where treated to a Club Tijuana fluid brand of soccer that led to the second-straight win at home and second shutout by goalkeeper Federico Vilar in Tijuana this season.
Herrera’s team began the flurry of goals when Moreno opened up the scoring early on. Moreno tapped in a low rolling cross from Aviles Hurtado from left to right. Guadalajara goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota could only watch it roll into the back of the net. Moreno added his second when he sent in a pass from Gabriel Hauche. It was a give-and-go play by Moreno, Hauche and Hurtado. Moreno now has 39 career goals with Club Tijuana.
Hauche got a goal of his own when he sprinted into the Chivas penalty area from the right side and fired across the box. It was Hurtado once again, setting up the play. Hauche has scored in back-to-back games. The Argentine striker scored against Club Puebla last week.
Caraglio scored his first goal as a Xoloitzcuintle when he converted a penalty kick in the 71st minute. Chivas was whistled for a foul when Hauche was taken down just inside the penalty box a minute earlier.
Earlier in the match, Club Tijuana showed to also be aggressive on defense, with recovering balls quickly after losing them at midfield. Juan Carlos Valenzuela cleared a ball from the goal line on a Chivas volley in the 31st minute. Vilar stopped a Carlos Salcido shot a minute later to preserve the shutout.
Club Tijuana will now travel to Mexico City to face Cruz Azul, another popular team in the league, in a Week 4 match Aug. 6 at Estadio Azul.
