Santos Laguna <\/strong>achieved last Sunday, February 27, 2022, its first victory in the closing tournament of Liga MX<\/a> <\/strong>by winning 2-1 as a visitor to Cruz Azul <\/strong>at the end of the seventh day of the tournament.

The victory for Santos’<\/strong> “Warriors<\/strong>” came three days after the dismissal of Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha<\/strong>. After Caixinha’s <\/strong>departure, the club appointed Eduardo Fentanes <\/strong>as interim technical director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruz Azul<\/strong>, which has a good start to the season, left with a lot of confidence playing at home against\u00a0Santos Laguna<\/strong>; one of the worst teams in this tournament, seeing its position in the general classification table.

The match was a round trip at the Azteca stadium<\/strong> in Mexico City<\/strong>, home of Cruz Azul<\/strong>. However, Santos Laguna<\/strong> gave the surprise to take the lead after five minutes with a powerful shot from Colombian Harold Preciado<\/strong> from outside the area, surprising the goalkeeper Chuy Corona<\/strong>; leaving him without any opportunity to get the ball out, after controlling the ball with great quality with his chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cruz Azul <\/strong>had the opportunity to tie the game at 18 minutes by way of a penalty kick; but goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo <\/strong>stopped the shot and the shot after the rebound from Uriel Antuna<\/strong>. Acevedo<\/strong> saved his goal again in the 28th minute by deflecting a shot from Carlos Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>.

The game continued in the same way, both teams attacking from all sides, with Cruz Azul<\/strong> looking to take advantage of their local status to tie the game. However, they could not do it in the first half and went to rest with the result being 1-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Half<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cruz Azul <\/strong>did not sit idly by, because after the end of the first half at a disadvantage, from the beginning of the second half they looked for a way to equalize the actions.

The tie came at minute 64 when \u00c1ngel Romero <\/strong>sent a pass to the heart of the area. There was Nacho Rivero, <\/strong>who <\/strong>took the opportunity to finish off a header and beat Carlos Acevedo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At minute 94, Diego Medina<\/strong> had a shot from the edge of the area, which was deflected by a Cruz Azul<\/strong> defender, changing the trajectory of the ball to Jes\u00fas Corona<\/strong>. He could not do much; other than watch the ball cross the final line in the last moments of the match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
