Background and Context
The Jornada 11 of the Apertura 2025 in Mexico’s top-tier football league, Liga MX, experienced an unexpected turn on Friday night. The much-anticipated match between Puebla and Guadalajara, scheduled for the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, was postponed due to a thunderstorm and persistent rain in Puebla City.
Liga MX announced that, after waiting for the rain to stop, the playing conditions were deemed unsuitable for a safe and fair game. Consequently, the match was rescheduled to Saturday, September 27 at 5:00 PM, still taking place at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc.
“The decision, made in conjunction with Protección Civil, prioritizes the safety and well-being of everyone present at the stadium, based on articles 41 and 42 of the Liga MX Competition Regulations,” stated the official communication.
Teams’ Current Standings
Puebla, coached by Hernán Cristante, enters the rescheduled match with a seven-game winless streak. The team aims to break this negative trend in front of their home crowd. Meanwhile, Chivas, under the guidance of Gabriel Milito, seeks to score their 200th goal in this historic rivalry and maintain their position in the playoff race, following their recent victory in the Clásico Nacional.
The original match was set for Friday at 9:00 PM, but now it will kick off the Saturday lineup. This change could potentially benefit both teams in terms of rest and strategic planning.
