Correcaminos Uat vs Guadalajara Chivas

Chivas were reduced to ten men in first-half stoppage time when a player received a straight red card at 45+1". The sending-off forced Milito to reshuffle earlier than planned, and the numerical disadvantage contributed to a disjointed second half. Despite this, Correcaminos could not capitalise on the extra man.

Milito then made seven substitutions in a five-minute spell around the 75th minute, effectively fielding what Marca MX described as resembling Chivas' reserve side "Tapatío". The changes disrupted any remaining rhythm.

• Kevin Castañeda — The new signing was lively throughout and came closest to breaking the deadlock, only for his disallowed goal to sum up Chivas' night. He was substituted around the 70th minute.
• Diego Campillo & Daniel Aguirre — The centre-back pairing impressed, with Marca MX noting they "frenó los ataques" (stopped the attacks) of Correcaminos effectively. Campillo looks a strong candidate for a starting role in the Apertura.
• Miguel Gómez — The winger rattled the crossbar with a free kick in the 82nd minute, the closest either side came to a goal in the second half.
• Edson Resendez (Correcaminos) — The home goalkeeper kept a clean sheet with a solid if not overworked performance, claiming crosses well and denying Carrillo.

The provider data shows a goalless draw with one red card (Chivas, 45+1"). The match was characterised by Chivas' territorial dominance — Milito's side controlled possession and created the clearer chances — but a lack of cutting edge in the final third. For a pre-season friendly, the 0-0 scoreline tells the story of a team still building sharpness and understanding between new arrivals (Castañeda, Carrillo) and existing squad members. Correcaminos, meanwhile, showed organisation under new manager Gabriel Pereyra and will take confidence from frustrating a Liga MX side.

This was Chivas' first pre-season outing ahead of the Apertura 2026 and the Leagues Cup. The Rebaño Sagrado have been training at Verde Valle after a camp in Barra de Navidad, and Milito used the match to give minutes to a 26-man squad from which several internationals — including World Cup participants — were absent.

Chivas' next and final pre-season friendly is scheduled for Friday, 10 July, against Leones Negros at the Estadio Gregorio "Tepa" Gómez in Tepatitlán (20:00 local). Correcaminos, who compete in the Liga de Expansión, begin their own league campaign under Pereyra at a date yet to be confirmed.

A scoreless but instructive workout. Milito would have wanted a goal — especially after Castañeda's disallowed strike — but the primary objective was minutes and fitness, not the scoreline. The red card and the scrappy second half serve as early reminders of the sharpness still needed before the competitive season begins. Correcaminos will be the happier of the two sides.
