Cruz Azul vs Chivas Guadalajara tickets Liga MX

Cruz Azul hosted Chivas Guadalajara at the Estadio Azteca on Thursday, May 14th, 2026 at 9pm for the first leg of their Liga MX semi-final, the second of the two ties at that stage of the knockout round. La Máquina and El Rebaño Sagrado carry one of Mexican football's grand rivalries into a two-legged battle for a place in the final, and the history between them ran hot: in their two previous encounters Cruz Azul came out on top both times, edging Chivas at the Azteca and again in an earlier meeting. A semi-final under the lights at one of the sport's most storied grounds, with 87,000 seats to fill, made this an occasion the neutral could savour just as much as the two sets of supporters packed inside.
