Arsenal vs. Chivas Guadalajara: Score, Reaction from 2016 International Friendly

Arsenal picked up their second win of the preseason on Sunday, beating Chivas Guadalajara 3-1 at StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Rob Holding, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chuba Akpom were the goalscorers for the Gunners in a comprehensive victory.

Although Holding was the scorer, Calum Chambers deserves the lion’s share of credit for Arsenal’s opening goal in the 33rd minute. Chambers peeled away from his marker to get on the end of Santi Cazorla’s free kick delivered on the edge of the six-yard box. Chambers’ pass across goal left Holding with an easy finish.

Fox Soccer provided a replay of the goal:

Theo Walcott nearly doubled the Gunners’ lead in the 35th minute. Antonio Rodriguez made a point-blank save to stymie the English attacker.

Despite Chivas taking a one-goal deficit into the halftime break, ESPN FC’s Tom Marshall wasn’t entirely displeased by what he saw from the club:

Chivas 0-1 Arsenal at the break. Some positives for Chivas, although the defense looks shaky.
