We have the challenge of winning the next matches to finish in first place. We need to close the regular championship with a great game here at home that gives us strength and confidence for the Play-Offs.

This win propels Chivas further up the Clausura 2026 general standings, bringing them closer to securing the coveted top position. With two regular-season matches remaining, the team is focused on maintaining this momentum and finishing the phase strongly. Coach Gabriel Milito stressed the importance of closing the regular season with a strong home performance to build confidence for the upcoming playoffs.

We needed to play a game like the one we played, we were coming off a tough defeat and we needed this reaction, which we were convinced we could achieve, but games have to be played. It was a very good victory, scoring five goals is not so easy, the team played very well.

Milito expressed satisfaction with his team's performance, highlighting their "game, mentality, and ambition." However, he cautioned against complacency, asserting that the team has not yet reached its full potential. "We are still in a phase of construction," Milito stated, "there are always things to improve, and there are no limits; I want my players to set no limits for themselves, nor do I."

Despite the current success, Milito's aspirations remain high. He acknowledged being "very happy" with the team's current form but insisted on the need for greater consistency and a relentless pursuit of more. "We have to keep going for more, there is always a little more possible; we have to have the ambition to always go in search of something more, we are on the right path, but there is still a long way to go," he concluded. This mindset underscores the club's commitment to continuous growth and achieving peak performance in the Liguilla.
