"Jornada" = Matchday. This is the 4th round of games in the Apertura 2026 tournament.

Yes! If you have a standard Disney+ subscription in Mexico, you can stream the match at no extra cost. (Not available on Disney+ in the US for this match.)
5. Why are they called "El Rebaño Sagrado"?
It means "The Sacred Herd." The nickname started in the 1940s when a journalist said Chivas played like a "herd of goats" — tough, united, and relentless. Fans embraced it proudly!
