They escaped in the final minutes!
The Red Devils had the three points in their pocket. With his mind set on the return of Concacaf, Antonio ‘Turco’ Mohamed moved the board and almost made the move.
Jesús Angulo, who had entered in the second half, seemed to give the local team the victory at minute 90+2. It was a great goal as a result of good work with Paulinho. The Bombonera exploded.
From the box, Marcel Ruiz, injured, applauded his teammates loudly.
But football is that cruel sometimes. When everyone considered the game closed, the answer came.
The unexpected hero of the Foxes
Víctor Ríos, another substitute who came on after the break, dressed as a hero for Atlas. First he saved an almost certain goal by taking a ball under the boxes.
And then, at 90+4, he signed a work of art. A shot from outside the area that slipped into the top corner to tie the game. A superb goal that silenced Nemesio Díez.
It was a punch in the stomach for those at home, who saw a hard-fought victory disappear. Leadership no longer depends only on them; Cruz Azul and Chivas breathe very close.
Now, let’s think about what’s important: Concacaf. This was a tough lesson in concentrating until the final whistle.
