TIJUANA, BC. With their eyes set on qualifying for the Copa Libertadores of America, Club Xoloitzcuintles de Caliente will be put to the test this coming Sunday on a game against Chivas of Guadalajara, where they are looking to close out their regular season with a bang in the Apertura Tournament 2012 of the Liga MX.
The match is scheduled for November 11th at 5pm Mexico City local time, and 3p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST) at the Omnilife Stadium.
The red and black team is expecting to have an enormous amount of support, in which they have put together a charter flight for the fans that will be able to fly out to the game, and watch their favorite players go up against Mexicos team who has the largest amount of fans worldwide, Chivas of Guadalajara.
In order to qualify for the most important Latin American tournament, Club Tijuana will need to defeat Chivas with any possible score in their favor, and with a win they will be able to secure their spot to the tournament and also become the super leaders of the general positions boards.
