Saturday’s Liga MX action featured a seven-goal thriller from Guadalajara with Cade Cowell getting off the mark for Chivas.
Cowell scored his first goal of the new Apertura campaign as Chivas defeated visiting Atletico San Luis 4-3. The U.S. men’s national team attacker logged 54 minutes in the match.
After a Juan Sanabria own goal propelled Chivas in front 1-0, Cowell doubled the hosts lead before halftime. Cowell’s header from close range nestled into the back of the net for a 2-0 Chivas advantage.
Despite seeing their 2-0 lead slip away, Chivas used a late brace from substitute forward Armando Gonzalez to snatch a 4-3 victory.
Cowell, who scored nine goals last season for Chivas, is off the mark in the early stages of the new campaign.
Chivas will now turn its attention towards its Leagues Cup opener against New York Red Bulls on Friday.
