The Cruz Azul Football Club and the National University Club will face each other at the close of the quarterfinal phase, the Machine with a good 0-2 advantage will seek to seal its ticket to the semifinals from home in this interesting duel that always gives what to talk about between the capital clubs.
Although it is true that the university team arrives at the second leg at a disadvantage and with a team that does not play better than the La Noria team, they will seek to surprise and get a pass to the next round. In fact, the Pedregal team has scored three or more goals in the last times they advanced in the Liguilla, so they will seek to repeat those occasions.
The first objective for the cats in the second leg is to score at least three goals since they are at a 0-2 disadvantage after losing in Ciudad Universitaria in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2024 Clausura Tournament, they must do so and, in addition , without receiving anything else from the celestials. A situation that, in the last four occasions that they have played a KO’ round match within the Liguilla, they have achieved.

In two of them he did not receive (and against América he scored three goals already with the disadvantage, that is, when he had the need, he did not receive). pic.twitter.com/dJXAKhPM9l

The university team beat Tigres UANL 3-1 during the second leg of the quarterfinals and advanced to the next stage with an overall score of 4-3. Against Cruz Azul, they experienced one of the greatest comebacks by beating them 4-0 in the second leg of the Guard1anes 2020 semifinals, the overall score ended 4-4 and they advanced to the final due to the best position in the general classification.
In the Clausura 2021, the Auriazules beat América 3-1 in the second leg after drawing 0-0 in the first leg; and finally, last Apertura 2023, a 3-0 against Chivas in the quarterfinals.
In this way, the feline coaching staff will have no choice but to send their entire offensive arsenal, as they will have to look to score goals to have a chance of eliminating the Machine and advancing in the tie.
