The Cruz Azul team, led by Martín Anselmi, achieved an impressive comeback by defeating Xolos de Tijuana 3-0 at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, tying the aggregate score 3-3 and advancing to the semifinals thanks to their position on the table. During the first half, Cruz Azul generated several goal-scoring opportunities, but it wasn’t until the 44th minute when Ignacio Rivero managed to open the scoring. In the second half, Ángel Sepúlveda assisted Giorgos Giakoumakis for the second goal, and shortly after, Sepúlveda himself scored the third to seal the match. Now, the “Celestes” will seek revenge against América in the semifinals, in a match that promises excitement after last season’s final.
