FC Juárez Sub-21 and Club Deportivo Guadalajara finished 0-0 on Thursday night in the first leg of their semifinal series at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, leaving the tie open heading into the return match.
The scoreless draw means the semifinal in the Sub-21 category of Mexican soccer will be decided Sunday morning in Guadalajara, where the second leg is scheduled for 10:00 hours at Cancha Gigantera 2. The winner will move on to the final, and neither side left a cushion after the first meeting.
That makes the next game the only one that matters now. The first leg showed two teams willing to fight for control but unable to break through, and the return match in Guadalajara will settle which side keeps its season alive.
The series now shifts to Guadalajara with no advantage for either team. For FC Juárez Sub-21, the challenge is to finish what it could not at home. For Chivas Fc, the chance is to turn a deadlocked semifinal into a place in the final.
