Overview
- Heavy rain and a lightning storm left the Estadio Cuauhtémoc unplayable on Friday night, forcing the suspension of the Jornada 11 fixture.
- Liga MX, in coordination with Protección Civil, rescheduled the game for Saturday at 17:00 under competition rules that cover force majeure events, with broadcasts on Azteca 7 and selected streaming platforms.
- Hours before the new kickoff, renewed showers and a waterlogged pitch raised the possibility of another halt, with referee Ismael Rosario López empowered to stop play if conditions deteriorated.
- The match went ahead on Saturday and Bryan ‘Cotorro’ González put Chivas in front in the fifth minute, as live minute‑by‑minute updates confirmed action at the Cuauhtémoc.
- The reprogramming brought added logistical challenges and costs for both clubs, amid concerns over stadium drainage and recent non‑sporting events that worsened the turf.
