The Larcamón Machine loses rhythm
Cruz Azul did not know how to close the game. After going ahead with an early penalty, he allowed Tijuana to draw a draw (1-1) at Cuauhtémoc.
Gabriel Fernández, from eleven steps, put the advantage for the light blues. But the reaction of the Xolos was immediate. Adonis Preciado made a great play and Mourad El Ghezouani only had to push the ball to equalize the scores.
“The experienced central referee did not go to the VAR to review the play and stayed with his initial decision,” they noted about the penalty that opened the scoring.
What is worrying is the trend. In the last weeks of the Clausura, La Maquina barely has five out of eighteen possible points. They went from fighting for the lead to trying to stay in the top four.
The team arrives at the Liguilla with more doubts than certainties. It needs a shake to recover its best version.
Tigers breathe at the end
Meanwhile, in Aguascalientes, the Tigres were saved from a setback. Ángel Correa appeared at the last minute to rescue a 1-1 draw against a Necaxa that gave everything.
For the hydrocalids, the point was little in their fight to get into the big party. For the U, it was a huge relief that they celebrated as if it were a victory.
The closing had drama and tension. Correa became the unexpected hero to consolidate the cats in the top positions of the table.
