Last Updated on May 20, 2021 9:12 am by

The drama continues in the LIGA MX – Guard1anes 2021 semifinals, where the favorites to take the title this season, Cruz Azul, takes on Pachuca at the Azteca Stadium. This defining match will be exhilarating, as we all know; in the first leg at Pachuca’s home, the teams did not hurt each other and ended 0-0.

How do Pachuca and Cruz Azul arrive?

Cruz Azul comes to this match after a hard-fought quarterfinal series against Toluca in which they achieved victory with an adjusted 4-3 aggregate score. Something extraordinary since Cruz Azul dominated all facets of the championship in the regular season. In their previous match, the first leg of the semifinal in which they drew 0-0 at Pachuca’s home, Cruz Azul had 43% possession of the ball, with 10 scoring opportunities created and 3 of them with shots on goal saved by the outstanding goalkeeper of Pachuca.

For its part, Pachuca had a very irregular regular round; they started with shaky performance, and, thanks to their 3 victories in their last 3 matches, they managed to get a place to play the playoffs. Pachuca managed to win this game for the repechage 4-2 to Chivas de Guadalajara. They had to face in the quarterfinals of the Liguilla 2021 to nothing more and nothing less than America, another of the strong candidate. This series was a surprise for everyone because Pachuca managed to win 3-1 in the first leg and, in the return leg, managed to score 2 away goals, which ensured him a pass to these semifinals.
