The Red-and-White Invasion: Chivas Fans Dominate Aguascalientes
In a stunning display of loyalty and passion, the Chivahermanos completely took over the city of Aguascalientes. As the Liga MX Clausura 2026 season approaches its climax, the supporters of Chivas demonstrated why they are among the most devoted in the world.
The atmosphere surrounding the Estadio Victoria was electric. While the match was hosted in Aguascalientes, the visual evidence suggested otherwise; reports indicate a staggering 10-90 split in crowd favour, with the visiting side effectively owning the stadium. From the streets to the stands, the chants of “Chivas, Chivas!” echoed throughout the city, turning the local environment into a sea of red and white.
A Night of Debuts and Tradition
The passion wasn’t limited to the game itself. Fans gathered early, donning both retro and modern jerseys of the general leader, creating a festive mood that blended sports with local culture. This coincided with the Feria Nacional de San Marcos, adding an extra layer of excitement to the weekend.
A standout moment of the evening was the warm reception given to Óscar Whalley. In a poignant moment during the warm-up, fans cheered the goalkeeper as he made his first-ever start in a Liga MX match, marking his official debut in Mexican football.

Beyond the spectacle in Aguascalientes, the rest of the league has been rife with drama and high-stakes competition. Here are the key takeaways from the latest matchday:
- The Liguilla Fight: Atlas and Tigres played out a tense, goalless draw. Despite the lack of scoring, both teams secured a valuable point in their desperate bid to qualify for the Liguilla.
- The Golden Boot Race: Joao Pedro continues his dominant form, exploiting a struggling Santos Laguna to keep his eyes firmly set on a second consecutive scoring title.
- Crisis at Cruz Azul: It looks like the end of the road for Nicolás Larcamón. After a 1-1 draw against Puebla, Larcamón has gone nine games without a victory, leaving his position in jeopardy.
- Club América’s Dominance: América continues to showcase superior football, securing a victory over León, although the win was marred by a controversial penalty call.
- Rayados’ Transition: While Rayados managed a win over Puebla, the club is more focused on the future. The team is undergoing a presidential restructuring, as the current leadership prepares to depart this summer.
