The arrival of Martín Anselmi at Cruz Azul completely changed the mentality of a club that could not qualify for the league directly from ninth place. The cement team is one of the best players in Liga MX and aims to replicate that performance in the direct elimination duels. After beating Pachuca on penalties, it was confirmed that ‘La Maquina”s rival will be Pumas.
Gustavo Lema’s team had a very irregular Clausura 2024 where injuries prohibited him from consolidating a consistent team. Even so, they obtained the necessary points to access the play-in and then faced some ‘Tuzos’ who arrived quite worn out.. Therefore, the light blue team is the favorite to advance to the semifinals.
The negative for Cruz Azul is that Gonzalo Piovi could only be on the bench for the second leg because he is still recovering from his shoulder dislocation. Then, the central defender will not be available for the first leg to be played at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario.
