Mexico City.- The Guerreros de Santos Laguna arrived in the capital of the country to face once again the Cruz Azul Machine led by the Inca strategist Juan Máximo Reynoso, the courier man who helped the cement workers to break a fast of 23 years without a Liga MX title.
The albiverdes became the team that could not continue with the famous tradition of losing the most Cruz Azul finals in the First Division. Before, under the direction of Guillermo Almada, they were brave in the second leg, obtaining the equalizer on the global scoreboard thanks to a great goal from Diego Valdés.
Santos boxed the celestial ones that a possible ‘Cruzazuleada’ never seen before in Clausura 2021 could be possible, however the shot of his former player Jonathan ‘Cabecita’ Rodríguez made the locals tie the duel and the new monarchs of the MX League were consecrated .
That May 30, 2021 is not forgotten for those of the Shire, much less for the Cruz Azul fans who went out to paint the streets blue and white with flags, gunpowder, t-shirts and lights, something that did not happen in the Mexican Republic since December 7, 1997.
Months later, the attitude of both will be different compared to that final, mainly in Santos Laguna because they will arrive beaten from elimination in the Concacaf Champions League against CF Montreal (3-1) and cause the dismissal of their former coach Pedro Caixinha.
On the other hand, the saints have not yet won in the Grita México C2022 of the Liga MX Femenil and therefore they walk like a red lantern with 2 digits in the general table. Cruz Azul, from another point of view, arrives inspired after qualifying for the Concachampions Quarterfinals, after beating Toluca (1-4) the previous day at the Nemesio Díez. For now, he is in 4th place with 13 points.
The match corresponding to day 7 of C2022 will start at 7:00 p.m. (Mexico time) 6:00 p.m. (Culiacán time). Cruz Azul vs. Santos will be the only game that will be played on Sunday, February 27; will close the hostilities in the Azteca Stadium.
