Blue Cross finished the work that began in Florida.
The Machine continues to live the dream by defeating the Toronto F.C. 1-0, for a 4-1 aggregate, advance to the semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League.
The goal that defined the game was a great shot by Ecuadorian Bryan Angulo (27 ‘), who from 20 meters outside the area, fired at first intention to clear goalkeeper Bono.
So the Gaming Machine’s losing streak continues. There are already 19 meetings, counting League and Concacaf, where the blues don’t bite the dust.
The game was processed because the players commanded by Juan Reynoso decided to do so. The MLS draw, it was expected, would drop in level when it reached Mexico City, so the Machine only had to let time pass for the conditions to take effect. While this was happening, he endured the game, yes, there were moments of urgency where José de Jesús Corona had to work hard to keep his cabin at zero, but later.
The goal came from the “Cuco” Angulo. Corona cleared, the ball went ahead of half court where a defender combed, but the ball fell to the Ecuadorian who, of first intention, sent the ball into the nets.
Before Pablo Aguilar and Roberto Alvarado had tested the reflexes of the Canadian goalkeeper with individual shots.
The game was so controlled that Juan Reynoso made the changes in bunches, to keep his players in rhythm for the Liguilla, because at the end of the day, the game for Cruz Azul was like a preparation game, a preseason, of facing the quarterfinals that will start until next Wednesday.
