The dream of promotion remains intact; UdeG is in the semifinals.

The Black Lions went over Atlate and are in the semifinals of the Ascenso League. The dream of reaching the First Division remains intact after coming back from two goals behind and winning midday on Sunday 4-0.

The team led by the 'Viking' went out to devour the opponent. 20 thousand people pushed at the Jalisco Stadium. An attendance that more than one team in the top league would surely envy. Not even 10 minutes had passed when Joao Amaral opened the scoring for the home team.

The cross came from Jesús Vázquez. A measured cross for Joao who dove with his head to send it into the back of the net. The comeback was possible, there was time and above all attitude against a frightened Atlante side.

It was until the 25th minute when the visitors were able to respond, a header that hit the base of the post. That was it, even Sergio Bueno had already started warming up his bench players. UdeG was the master and owner of the game.

That was when 'Recodo' Valdéz took on the responsibility of being the captain and the experienced player, he initiated the counterattack, Jorlian served in the six-yard box for 'La Joya' to push it into the back of the net. With half an hour of play, Leones had equalized the overall score.

In the second half, Ismael Valadez appeared. The intensity in the university team was the same, after all, an Atlante goal could put the tapatíos in trouble. But 'Valagol' headed in a corner kick and scored the 3-0 in the 67th minute. The Monumental Stadium was a celebration, reasons were abundant.

Atlante began to lose their heads, missed passes, unnecessary fouls, and desperation in the defense. Joao stole the ball in the center of the field, escaped and calmly finished past the Atlante goalkeeper. The score was 4-0 and the Semifinals were already a reality.

Important days are ahead for the football in Guadalajara, especially at the Jalisco Stadium when the city's Clásico between Atlas and Chivas is played on Friday and the Black Lions receive the second leg of the semifinals next Sunday.
