The start of the Clausura tournament had not been easy for the Blue Cross Celestial Machine. They started losing 1-0 against the Pachuca Tuzos, on matchday one, playing at home. Then, on date number two they tied 0-0 against the Ciudad Juarez Braves, missing an end in the aggregate of the match; saved, on top of that, by his former goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado.
For date number three, however, although they started losing to the Mazatlan, they turned around and managed to achieve their first victory of the semester, beating the Mazatlecos by a score of 2-1. And only on Tuesday, January 30, did they add three again, defeating the Tijuana Xolos from Miguel: the 'Piojo' Herrera, who ended up having words with the president of the Celeste Machine: Iván Alonso.
