The Liga MX match on Saturday marked the 14th round of the Apertura 2024 and took place at the Olรญmpico Universitario, featuring a dynamic start from Cruz Azul. The game kicked off dramatically, with รngel Sepรบlveda scoring just 25 seconds in by converting a cross from Carlos Rotondi. Just 12 minutes into the match, Nacho Rivero extended the lead with a header off a corner kick. Following these early blows, Pumas attempted to adjust their strategy to find a way back into the game, but Cruz Azulโs defense proved to be impenetrable throughout the match, keeping a clean sheet. Despite several substitutions and increased pressure from Pumas in the second half, including a near miss by Chino Huerta that sailed over the crossbar, Cruz Azul maintained control. The situation worsened for Pumas when Michel Rodrรญguez suffered an injury late in the game, resulting in them playing a man down. With this victory, Cruz Azul leads Liga MX with an impressive goal tally, leaving Pumas in a difficult position and snapping their six-match unbeaten streak.
