Cruz Azul won at least one of the toughest fights and enters the Fiesta Grande with five consecutive wins.
Cruz Azul remains untroubled and collects his fifth straight victory. At this time, the most important: in the framework of reclassification. The Cement Workers confirmed at home again, beating Lyon 1-0 in the second match of the day’s relegation. Earlier, Tigres UANL won at least against Necaxa.
The fight started very tight and with few options for both teams. However, as the minutes ticked by, players led by Raul Gutierrez began to impose on their rivals and the clear cut chances of the first half were evident. Two more loose groups were found already in the filler and the clear ones were leaning towards the cement workers.
In the 71st minute Ignacio Rivero capitalized on a mistake by the rival goalkeeper to score the first and only goal of the night. Uriel Antuna’s play overflowed to the line as Rodolfo Cota was unable to stop Rodolfo Cota and threw a cross at grass level, a rebuke left at the Uruguayan’s feet. With this result, Cruz Azul writes its name among the top 8 teams in the entire championship.
