Cruz Azul’s participation in the Concacaf Champions League began. They boasted Luis Abram, Christian Tabó and Joaquín Martínez in the starting eleven.
From the first moment he tried to impose conditions on the field of Forge FC, taking the game to the local area; however, it was not until half an hour into the game when they managed to penetrate Triston Henry’s goal with a long-range free kick that the Canadian goalkeeper was unable to attack.
In the second part, the process of the party continued in the same channel. At game time, Juan Reynoso made four modifications, where Juan Escobar, Bryan Angulo, Uriel Antuna and Rafael Baca entered, taking the place of Tabó, Santi Giménez, Erik Lira and Mayorga.
Already in the final moments, the Celestes were close to expanding Escobar’s score, but they failed to materialize that opportunity. In this way Cruz Azul defeated the Canadian team by the minimum and takes an important step towards the quarterfinals.
