Alineación Cruz Azul: Corona, Pinto, Castro, Perea, Flores, Torrado, Castro, Aquino, Barrera, Vela y Orozco. Pavone is not on the bench, Cruz Azul will not risk him even if it isn't anything serious.
ChiquiDracula has not been good today, no huge blown call yet, but has missed many smaller ones. Chuletita just missed it ugh. Cruz Azul 0-1 pachuca, 41st minute
Halftime, score remains 0-1. A lot to be desired, chances for a first win at home this season do not look good. Cruz Azul have generated more chances than Pachuca, however none of those threats were really dangerous. Meanwhile Pachuca capitalize on one of the couple of chances they generated. W e'll see what happens in the 2nd half.
Thank god Cruz Azul rescued the tie. Cruz Azul didn't deserve to win because they simply play without much organization at home. A lot of passing that amounted to nothing, chiquimarco was equally bad on both sides, Chuletita had a bad game IMO. At the same time Cruz Azul didn't deserve to lose to Pachuca. What a poor side Pachuca is, I swear they couldn't string a good offensive play throughout the game.
I have to say not one player stood out today, the defense didn't have much to do, wingers/mids passed the ball without much creativity or danger, and forwards missed chances. One last question, Que les parecio el retorno del Chaco? Para mi no se vio bien.
what's up with chiquimarco? He usually loves calling PKs and he missed a couple in our favor. I didn't like that Pachuca was outplaying us until their goal landed. Not good scoring chances on either end, but we just couldn't get a hold of the ball. Good thing Hugo then had his team pack it all in. He almost got away with it too. Too bad for Barrera. Looks like he'll be out six months after what looked like nothing on the last play of the game.
Nice troll. ---- I can't believe we're so far up in the table with the kind of futbol we've been playing.
Two weeks to go. Things are looking better. We're still in the hunt with 25 points although things are still very tight. Can't afford losses at this point. Bravo still on the bench, so good news on that front as well. One interesting note, Week 17 has been designated as commemorative of Miguel Marin. There's even a special jersey that's been created for the occasion (see link below). Too bad it's so expensive - $2000 pesos. That's insane. http://www.mediotiempo.com/futbol/m...miguel-marin-presente-en-jersey-conmemorativo
That's crazy. Miguel Marin was a great keeper. but he did not wear that jersey to represent Cruz Azul, but in honor of Velez or Argentina. . So ******** that. Too expensive.
Not to ignore the latest collapse in that second half against Santos, but dang, is Corona a fantastic goalkeeper or what? That game was a highlight reel of Corona saves. Just hoping Perea recovers soon. They said 10 to 15 days, so maybe he'll be back by Saturday. Monterrey is going to be tough, especially as we keep folding in big games.
