On a thrilling night at the Estadio Azteca, Chivas defeated América in a National Classic filled with tension and emotion. Against the odds and despite América arriving as the heavy favorite, the “Rebaño Sagrado” pulled off a victory that could mark a turning point in their season.

The match began with América in clear control. From the opening minutes, the home side dominated possession and created dangerous opportunities in front of goal. However, the rojiblanco squad held firm, tightened up their lines, and executed a clever tactical plan. Chivas’ strategy allowed them to absorb the pressure and gradually balance the game in midfield.

The pressure surrounding head coach Diego Milito was palpable. Rumors circulated during the week that a defeat in this match could cost him his job, but this triumph dramatically changes the outlook. The team responded on the pitch with discipline and commitment, showing full support for their coach in a critical moment.

The victory represents more than just three points it brings a much-needed morale boost to Chivas, who had been going through a difficult stretch. For América, meanwhile, the loss is a painful setback, falling at home to their fiercest rival.

The 2025 National Classic thus goes to Chivas, who celebrated passionately with their fans. For Milito, his immediate future now seems secure, at least for the moment, while Mexican soccer adds yet another unforgettable chapter to its greatest rivalry.
