Chivas had victory in hand against Pachuca, but a late penalty turned a promising night into a wave of online mockery.

Roberto Alvarado put the Guadalajara side ahead just two minutes into the match at Hidalgo Stadium. Chivas, coached by Gabriel Milito, held that advantage for most of the game and appeared on course for a third straight win.

With 11 minutes left in regulation, however, Chivas conceded a penalty after committing a foul inside its own area. Salomón Rondón, Pachuca’s veteran Venezuelan striker, converted from the spot to make it 1-1.

The draw cost Chivas the chance to remain in the fight for the top of the table. Social media users responded with a flood of memes aimed at the team after it let three points slip away.
