Goalkeeper Antonio Adan made the difference for the Spanish club. He avoided what would have been the winning penalty for Chivas, then pushed off the next shot to help secure the win for his team.
The Mexicans dominated the possession of the ball and won the physical fights, but got the same number of shots as their opponents, who made 10 changes at halftime.
Marcos Llorente, making his second appearance for Los Colchoneros, received a red card in the 24th minute when he pulled off Alexis Vega's jersey while the striker held a solid position.
