Why is the match against Juárez so special for this Chivas youth player? | OneFootball

For Miguel Gómez, the Bravos de Juárez will always be a special rival, and facing them will have a different flavor. The reason is that it was against this border team that he scored his first goal in the top flight, wearing the colors of the team he loves. Here's how that unforgettable occasion unfolded.

It was Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the Benito Juárez Olympic Stadium, in a match corresponding to matchday 12, when 'Migue' came on as a substitute in the 45th minute for Isaac 'Cone' Brizuela, with the task of helping the Rojiblanco team turn around the 1-0 deficit.

In the 79th minute, after an intervention by Alan Pulido, a rebound was generated that Gómez took advantage of to strike the ball first time and place it in the top corner from outside the area, scoring his first goal in the top flight of Mexican soccer.

At the end of the match, in an interview, he made a special dedication with the following words: "It's a great joy, I dedicate it to my mother, because I'm here thanks to her."

That goal meant a draw and kept Rebaño's hopes alive as the tournament drew to a close. For Miguel, it was the beginning of a journey that was just getting started with the Rojiblanca jersey.

Without a doubt, that moment will live on in the memory of Miguel and millions of Chivahermanos, as a reminder of the value that the Rojiblanca youth academy has for an entire country.
