Cruz Azul remains on top of América in the grand final of the Clausura 2024 tournament of the Liga MX. The Celeste Machine was very close to going ahead on the scoreboard, in the 53rd minute, with a goal from Lorenzo Faravelli, but his score did not count due to an offside.

The play began with a long shot for Uriel Antuna, who was closing the American area. The ‘Brujo’ scored a great service inside the area looking for Ignacio Rivero.
He managed to finish with a header and his ball crashed into the post. The ball remained dead inside the area and Lorenzo Faravelli recovered the ball and shot to beat Malagón.
Canceled!

This play also generated controversy due to an alleged previous foul by Ignacio Rivero on Igor Lichnovksy when re-centering.
The Uruguayan allegedly pushed the Chilean from behind.
Faravelli’s goal did not go on the scoreboard because it was marked offside.
Specialists such as Fernando Schwartz considered that the play was well invalidated.
Out of place and clearly missing
