The crisis of Blue Cross It is getting deeper and deeper. Returning for a day to the 10 de Diciembre stadium with the aim of “reconnecting” with his roots and his identity was not enough, the Machine does not work and now there are nine consecutive games without knowing the victory, thanks to the draw (1-1) with Queretaro in La Corregidora.
Cruz Azul let go of the possibility of closing the championship among the first places and also fell behind in the fight for the million dollars awarded by the Liga MX for being the best team of the season, but the worst of all is that it seems to have lost its essence as a team contending for the title. The cement fans changed their enthusiasm for frustration expressed through boos.
Jeremy Marquez He was the hero and the villain of this tie. In the first minutes of the first half (9′), after a couple of headers inside the area, he found himself with the ball at his mercy in front of the goal and unleashed a powerful shot that put the Machine ahead on the scoreboard; However, before going to half-time (46′) a deflection turned into an own goal and a tie for the Gallos.
Nicolás Larcamón moved its chips in the second half. Christian Ebere and Luka Romero, mainly, became Cruz Azul’s most unbalanced players but their attacks had more momentum than danger. Carlos Rotondi had a game full of inaccuracies and Gabriel Fernández was frustrated in his repeated attempts stopped by José Hernández.
Querétaro said goodbye to its Liguilla aspirations, and Cruz Azul will close the regular season at the Banorte stadium, against Necaxa, where it cannot fail again.
