SEATTLE - Known as the "Clásico Nacional," the game between Chivas del Guadalajara and Club América has been Mexico's biggest soccer rivalry for decades and, on May 18, will have yet another exciting chapter when both teams meet in the Clausura 2024 semifinals.
If we include the ties before the short tournament era (since 1996), Chivas and América have clashed 12 previous times in the playoffs. The first time this happened was during the 1982-83 semifinals, with "El Rebaño Sagrado" advancing to the final due to a 4-2 win on aggregate.
