Raúl González, the former Real Madrid player, asked Chivas fans to have confidence in Fernando Hierro, new Sporting Director, and Vieljko Paunovic, technical director.
"Be calm, trust them because I think they are two people with a lot of wisdom and experience. It is their first experience in Mexican soccer and their first experience there, but in the end soccer is the same everywhere and I am sure that, with the great structure that the club has, the help that they will have, they will be able to contribute to make sure that the fans enjoy every matchday and that in every match they can achieve victory".

Not even the cold weather at the Estadio Nemesio Diez was an impediment for tempers to flare in the América vs Cruz Azul match. At minute 69', Michael Estrada committed a tackle on Israel Reyes, so immediately, all the eagles went after the Ecuadorian, causing the Celestes to come to his defense.
