USA breaks golden drought in hockey with epic goal

Dozens of people marched this Saturday from the Hemicycle to Juárez towards the former United States embassy in Mexico City. The protest, called within the framework of the Cuban Revolution, demanded the end of the economic blockade, the end of threats of military intervention and the resumption of the shipment of Mexican oil to the island.

From 9:30 a.m., the contingents advanced along Paseo de la Reforma with slogans such as “Cuba yes, blockade no” and “Mexican oil for the Cuban people.”

Olivia Garza, from the Association of Cuban Residents in Mexico, stated to EL UNIVERSAL that United States aggression has intensified. “They want to starve a people who have only exercised their right to build their own society,” he said. He described Donald Trump’s foreign policy as “authoritarian” and warned about the risk of military aggression, promoted by the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

Ivonne Guerra, also from the association, described the blockade as an “economic, financial and commercial suffocation” that has been going on for 67 years. He recognized the support of Mexico, a country that has sent humanitarian aid due to historical ties, and asked that these shipments be resumed.

Silvia Ramo attended to commemorate the anniversary of the Cuban Revolution. He requested increased humanitarian aid, but warned that US pressure makes it difficult for Mexico to send oil directly. She criticized the US interventionist policy in Latin America and other regions.

The protesters agreed that Mexico has been one of the few governments that maintains a position of sovereignty and self-determination in the face of pressure from Washington.

Cruz Azul is crowned Mexican soccer super champion

Cruz Azul defeated Antonio Mohamed’s Toluca 3-1 at the Dignity Health Sports Park, in Los Angeles. With this victory, he was left with the Champion of Champions and confirmed his dominance in national football.

José Paradela and Carlos Rodríguez were the figures of the meeting. Paradela opened the scoring in the 31st minute, after an assist from Rodríguez. Toluca tied at 45+4′ with a free kick from Alexis Vega. However, at 55′, the light blue duo combined again: Rodríguez assisted Paradela to make it 2-1.

The second goal unleashed the absolute control of Cruz Azul. In the 61st minute, Paradela executed a direct free kick that goalkeeper Luis García could not stop. The score of 3-1 defined the match and left the Red Devils without reaction.

With this title, the team led by Joel Huiqui confirms its status as the best team of the moment. They are the current champions of Liga MX and now also super champions. In the Apertura 2026 they have two consecutive victories.

Cruz Azul is emerging as a strong candidate for the two-time championship. The superiority shown on the field in Los Angeles leaves no doubt about his present.

With a goal in injury time, Chivas achieved its first victory in the Apertura 2026. It was 0-1 against the Bravos de Juárez, in a match where the Rebaño Sagrado dominated but lacked forcefulness.

When the clock showed less than 30 seconds left, Roberto ‘Piojo’ Alvarado appeared in the center of the area to define. The goal was possible thanks to a cross from Ricardo Marín, who received a pass from Efraín Álvarez. Alvarado, with a subtle touch, beat goalkeeper Sebastián Jurado, who had had a solid performance.

A start with ups and downs

Chivas had debuted at home with a loss against Toluca. The pressure grew, and the team led by the Argentine strategist needed to add three. Although the performance was superior to that of its rival, the lack of clarity in attack was evident. The coach moved pieces during the match until he found the combination that would unlock the scoreboard.

The semi-final reached in the previous tournament, added to the participation of several players in the World Cup, generated high expectations for this season. However, the start has been complicated. Yesterday, against a defensively organized Juárez, Chivas had to wait until the end to celebrate.

The Sacred Flock comes into this semester as one of the candidates for the title, along with the current champion Cruz Azul. But he needs to improve his effectiveness if he wants to fight for the crown.

Key fact: 0-1 was the final score, with a goal in the 90+5 minute.
