Chivas U19's impressive run in the Apertura 2026

Chivas U19 has had an impressive run in the Apertura 2026 season so far. The Under-19 team from Guadalajara has consistently remained in contention near the top of the table. Resilience, the ability to respond quickly, and an effective attacking game have been key factors in their success. Currently, the Rebaño sits in fourth place with 21 points, just one point behind third place. The team has demonstrated the character to compete and find answers even in the most challenging situations.

The standout moment recently came against Juárez during Matchday 2 of the AP26. Falling behind initially, the Rebaño staged a remarkable comeback in the second half to secure a 4-1 victory. This wasn't a one-off performance; they also came from behind to win 3-2 against Santos on Matchday 4, and repeated the feat against Querétaro with a 2-1 win on Matchday 10. These three matches alone highlight the team's ability to turn games around and deliver when it matters most.

Attacking prowess has also been a strong suit for the Chivas U19. The team has scored a total of 16 goals, placing them fourth in the competition for attack output. With an average of more than one goal per game, Edgar Vargas has been the standout forward, netting 5 goals and averaging one every 162 minutes. Vargas leads the charge as Chivas' top scorer at this age level.

Currently, Guadalajara has recorded 7 wins and 3 losses in Apertura 2026, keeping them within striking distance of the top spots. As the Regular Season enters its final stages, the Rojiblancos will look to maintain this impressive form as they head into the Liguilla, aiming to stay in the best possible shape for the ultimate goal.
