Chivas end scoring drought with friendly success over León | OneFootball

It may only have been a friendly, but Chivas were able to get two monkeys off their back in Sunday’s 4-1 victory over León in San Jose.

The Flock had yet to score under interim manager Marcelo Michel Leaño, but finally ended a run of 391 minutes without a goal (a drought that preceded Leaño’s appoitment) when Ángel Zaldívar hit the net.

Jesús Angulo, Carlos Cisneros and Alan Eduardo Torres also got on the scoresheet to give the stand-in boss his first win since stepping into the hot seat following the dismissal of Víctor Manuel Vucetich.

The game with León had initially been cancelled following the violence – including a shooting – outside PayPal Park that marred Thursday’s friendly between San Jose Earthquakes and Cruz Azul.

But the game did go ahead as planned, albeit behind closed doors at the Major League Soccer venue.

Chivas will be glad that it did, and will hope to carry that confidence and scoring form into next Sunday’s clash with high-flying Toluca.
