The Chivas Rayadas did then enjoy a stronger run in the Clausura competition, booking a quarter-final place with a third-placed finish, and they would advance all the way to the final with triumphs over Atlas and Club America, only to meet Tigres in the final and fall at the very last hurdle, eventually losing 3-2 in extra time despite going 2-0 up through Roberto Alvarado and Victor Guzman.
Following on from that agony in late May, Veljko Paunovic's side quickly turned their focus to the new term in their bid to end the wait for another top-flight title, and they would make a positive start in a tough opening-day trip to Leon, eventually coming away with a 2-1 victory thanks to Jonathan Padilla's 81st-minute goal after Antonio Briseno's opener was cancelled out.
CD Guadalajara headed into the 2023-24 edition of the Liga MX with the aim of securing domestic silverware for the first time since 2017, after falling just short last time around, firstly finishing ninth in the Apertura phase and losing in reclassification.

Hoping to make it two wins from two, the Chivas Rayadas then hosted Atletico San Luis on Sunday and came away with all three points again, as Padilla and Fernando Beltran put them 2-0 up before Ronaldo Cisneros wrapped up an eventual 3-1 victory with an 80th-minute goal.
Now with a degree of confidence as the Liga MX's only side with two wins on the board, Guadalajara will be keen to establish themselves at the top end of the Apertura table to book an automatic quarter-finals place in the knockout phase and will look to make it nine points from three games on Friday before the break in league action.
Their visitors, meanwhile, make the difficult trip with the aim of putting a first victory on the board at the third time of asking.
Necaxa endured a tough campaign last time around, and while they did sneak into 12th spot in the Apertura table, a 2-0 defeat to Tigres prevented them from going any further than reclassification, before Los Rayos has a Clausura campaign to forget, eventually finishing 17th in the table with just three wins and 14 points from their 17 outings.
The campaign culminated in a 3-0 beating at the hands of Toluca at the end of April, and they would return to action against the same opposition this year under the new management of Rafael Dudamel, improving their fortunes somewhat to begin with a goalless draw away from home.
Los Rayos then hosted Club Tijuana last time out, and with their wait for a first goal continuing, they looked set to fall to a 1-0 defeat following Carlos Gonzalez's 73rd-minute opener for the visitors, but Alan Montes would pop up with an important leveller in injury time to force a share of the spoils.
Having now avoided defeat in each of their opening two matches, Dudamel's side will hope to put a first notch in their wins column on Friday but certainly face a tough test on their travels.
