Saturday, February 24, Azteca stadium field. The Eagles of America They received a visit from the Blue Cross Blue Machine, who had just won six consecutive victories and were in search of the seventh victory in a favorite setting, such as the young classic.
America had a clear dominance over the Blue Cross Celestial Machine, whom he had defeated in the last three matches. Since that enigmatic 7-0, the cement workers could not even rescue a draw against the azulcremas. The last celestial victory took us back to matchday number sixteen of the 2021 Apertura tournament.
And the story did not change in Clausura 2024. The first half was all about América. Julián Quiñones put the azulcremas ahead at the dawn of the game, with a pass from Henry Martin. The dominance of those from Coapa was such that in the first half they sent the ball to the back four times. All of them were offside, so the referee had to annul Julián Quiñones' record.
For the second half, Cruz Azul improved considerably. They had some important opportunities to tie the score, and however, the lack of forcefulness stopped the cement workers, who lost again against América.
America has four games without being able to beat the Atlas Red-and-Black, although, of the last three matches, all have ended in a draw. The azulcremas' last victory over the 'foxes' was on matchday number four of the already somewhat distant Apertura 2021 tournament.
