Mexican League Roundup, Feb. 7

Omar Bravo and Javier Hernandez scored second half goals as Chivas beat Queretaro 2-0 on Sunday to equal their best tournament start in club history.

Bravo opened the scoring in the 74th minute off a cross from Adolfo Bautista and "Chicharito" Hernandez sealed the win in the 80th for Guadalajara who are now unbeaten from four games, their best start to a season since the 1956-57 campaign when they defeated Necaxa, Monterrey, Oro and Atlante.
