Traditionally, statistics do not count in the “Clásico Tapatío,” a match in which both teams give everything to defend their honor on the field.

 

The “Clásico Tapatío” came to be during a friendly match between both teams that took place a short time after Club Atlas was founded in 1916. Since both teams come from the same city, the rivalry was immediate, not only on the part of the clubs, but also on the part of their followers.
