Chivas Rally Past León in Chicago Friendly With Late 2–1 Win

Armando González equalized around the 80th minute and Cade Cowell struck the winner minutes later after León had led through Emilio Rodríguez. Erick Gutiérrez played provider on both goals, first with a flick-on from a long throw and then with a through ball to Cowell. The match was staged at SeatGeek Stadium in Chicago during the September FIFA window to keep squads sharp during Liga MX’s pause. Several regulars were absent due to call-ups, including Chivas’ Tala Rangel and Roberto Alvarado and León’s James Rodríguez. Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández started for Chivas and missed a clear chance into an open goal, a talking point despite the result ending Guadalajara’s four-game winless run.
