"Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández suffered the unenviable fate of missing a crucial penalty in the game that saw his side's Liga MX campaign end on Sunday. Hernández, who made 103 appearances for United, scoring 37 times before a loan spell at Madrid, was tasked with the all-important penalty that would put Guadalajara ahead late on in their quarterfinal second leg tie against Cruz Azul."
"He couldn't convert it, with his spot kick -- that would have given Chivas the lead -- sailing high and wide over the crossbar. Cruz Azul scored in second-half stoppage time to win the match 3-2 and advance to the semifinals. The 37-year old only signed for Guadalajara in 2024 after leaving MLS club LA Galaxy and with his contract in Mexico set to expire this summer, he could be left with the possibility of finishing his career at his boyhood club in devastating fashion."
Javier Hernández missed a crucial penalty that would have put Guadalajara ahead in the Liga MX quarterfinal second leg against Cruz Azul. The spot kick sailed high and wide, and Cruz Azul scored in second-half stoppage time to win 3-2, advancing to the semifinals with a 97th-minute winner. Hernández signed for Guadalajara in 2024 after leaving LA Galaxy and came through the club's youth ranks, making his senior debut in 2006. He previously played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham and Sevilla and became a high-profile name in Europe. His contract with Guadalajara is due to expire this year, leaving his future uncertain.
