Ronaldinho scored his first goal for his new club Queretaro when he converted a penalty early in the game to set them on their way to a 4-1 win at 10 man Guadalajara in the Mexican Apertura championship.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
Queretaro were awarded a fourth-minute penalty after the former Mexico, Fulham and PSV Eindhoven defender Carlos Salcido blocked Camilo Sanvezzo’s goalbound shot on the line and was sent off.
Despite missing a penalty on his debut last week, Ronaldinho stepped up again and this time calmly placed the ball just inside the near post.

The former Barcelona and Milan playmaker also provided the pass for Sanvezzo to score the second in the 69th minute and Queretaro went on to add further goals through William da Silva and Othoniel Arce, with Giovani Hernández replying for the Chivas.
Queretaro set up a special security operation for the trip, hiring 12 private security guards in addition to the police escort the team bus was given on its way to the stadium, according to reports in Mexico.
Queretaro climbed to sixth in the table, on 14 points, where the teams play each other once and the top eight qualify for the knockout stages. America lead on 20 points after a 2-1 win over Pachuca, followed by Atlas who beat Cruz Azul 2-1.
