Just Cheers and Tacos
You didn’t need to be at Estadio Azteca to feel the rivalry heat—Ensenada brought the Clásico Nacional to life this Sunday with its own flare, sweat, and sea breeze. The City Sports Complex (Ciudad Deportiva de Ensenada) turned into a mini football temple as Club América Legends took on Chivas Legends in an exhibition match that drew hundreds of passionate fans.
No VAR, no million-dollar contracts—just pure fútbol, nostalgia, and carne asada aromas in the air.
Legends, Jerseys, and Local Flavor
Gates opened early, and so did the chants. Families, vendors, die-hard fans, and curious locals in half América, half Chivas jerseys (yes, it’s a thing) flooded the area. Flags waved, beers flowed, and kids reenacted goals they weren’t alive to see.
Outside, a steady flow of fans moved through checkpoints—no drama, just anticipation. The crowd was mostly peaceful, although some friendly taunts flew like misplaced corner kicks.
Security, paramedics, and vendors worked like a well-oiled midfield. Tacos? Check. Jerseys? Check. Inflatable screaming chicken? You bet.
A Win for the Community
The real score? Ensenada won—no matter what the scoreboard said.
Events like these bring life to the city’s sports scene and give locals a taste of the national stage without needing to cross a border or mortgage a kidney for tickets.
Both teams signed autographs, posed for photos, and showed that legends age, but rivalries? They don’t fade—they ferment like good Baja wine.
