This Liga MX clash held up to expectations with Chivas Guadalajara narrowly overcoming a strong Deportivo Toluca side in a thrilling 3-2 encounter. The fixture saw not only a volley of goals but also an gallery of yellow cards from both sides, showing how fiercely contested this game was at every turn.

The first half of this roller coaster match produced four goals, two from each team. Chivas Guadalajara broke the deadlock barely two minutes into the game but Toluca quickly equalized in the 8th minute making it 1-1. The momentum once again swayed in favor of Guadalajara in the 43rd minute, only for Toluca to equalize yet again just before half time.

The winning goal came in the second half at the 82nd minute, giving the home team a slight edge. However, it's important to note that both Toluca's equalizing goals came closely after the home team's goals. This highlights Toluca's resilience and the ability to fall back into the game after going behind twice in the match.

Corner kicks were an interesting facet in the match, with Deportivo Toluca holding a slight advantage with 7 corners compared to Guadalajara's 5. More corner kicks can often translate into increased opportunities for scoring. Though Toluca had the upper hand in this aspect of the game, they were unable to convert this minor advantage into prominence on the scoreboard.

As far as discipline goes, the referee had quite the eventful day with both teams collecting an equal number of yellow cards, 4 each. However, it's significant that two of Toluca's yellow cards were given in quick succession, just after Guadalajara's decisive third goal in the second half. This burst of indiscipline happened at a crucial juncture and might have caused disruption in the team's flow or an unnecessary psychological pressure.

In conclusion, although the match was closely contested, the winning difference was arguably the homely comfort of Guadalajara and their ability to persistently take the lead. A fiercely contested match, it was not just a contest of goals but also of grit, tactical nous and some might say, discipline. Deportivo Toluca will rue their missed chances, especially from corners, but will certainly take positives from having matched Guadalajara for large periods of the game.
