Hope is reborn in La Noria!
Cruz Azul smiled again. And boy did he do it with authority. On their return to the Banorte stadium, the Machine overcame Necaxa with a resounding 4-1 that ended a streak of nine games without knowing victory.
The goals came from the hands of José Paradela, Agustín Palavecino, Luka Romero and Andrés Montaño. In just 43 minutes, the light blue team put together a party that restored the faith of its fans.
“They are the important ones, the ones who go to the field, break their hearts and stand up for the club,” said Joel Huiqui after the game.
The new helmsman, a youth player of the institution, did not hold anything back. With humility but with character, he made it clear that this victory belongs to the players:
“I want to highlight the effort of the boys on the field… I am very proud of them.”
A message that lights the spark
But the best was yet to come. At the end of his conference, Huiqui dropped this pearl:
“Oh, and remember… the Liguilla is not dead, eh.”
Laughter invaded the press room and the video instantly went viral. That’s how it is in sports: when you least expect it, someone appears willing to remind you that you should never consider a great person dead.
La Maquina is already third in the general table and won the million dollar prize as the best club of the 2025-26 Season. Chance? I don’t believe it. This is hard work and resilience made real.
