📊 Ángel Zaldívar surpasses 'Chicharito' on scoring charts for Chivas

As well as securing a place in the repechaje for Chivas, Ángel Zaldívar’s late goal against Mazatlán on Friday marked a personal milestone for the attacker.

However the Guadalajara native has little chance of toppling leader Omar Bravo, who racked up 132 goals in his three stints with Los Rojiblancos.

Chivas must wait for other teams to finish their regular Apertura schedule this weekend to see who they will face next.
