Cruz Azul and América face each other this weekend in the MX League and it will be the perfect opportunity for the Cement Machine to break the streak of four different coaches without being able to beat the Águilas.
Juan Reynoso was the last coach who beat Club América with Cruz Azul. Since then, Diego Aguirre, Raúl Gutiérrez, Ricardo Ferretti and Joaquín Moreno have passed without success against the Águilas del América.
Martín Anselmi, who leads the team in first place, will have the opportunity in his first match against the Azulcremas. Reynoso won the 2021 Clausura championship in that campaign defeating the Águilas.
The Cementeros won 2-1 in that match with goals from Roberto Alvarado and Jonathan Rodríguez. Since then, four games have passed with three victories for América and only one draw. The tie was with Reynoso by a score of 0-0.
Cruz Azul receives América in its best moment and first in the Liga MX table
The Cruz Azul leader of the Argentine coach Martín Anselmi will visit the champion América of the Brazilian Andre Jardine this Saturday, in the most anticipated match of the eighth day of Clausura 2024 in Mexican soccer.
With six consecutive victories, after a setback and a draw at the start of the championship, the Blues have 19 pointsone more than Pachuca and four above Pumas UNAM, Monterrey and América, occupants of the third to fifth places.
The light blue ones are the revelation of the championship. They show the best defense, with five goals conceded in eight games and although their attack is only fifth, their goals have been timely.
Against its bitterest rival, Cruz Azul arrives at a better time, despite the fact that it will not be able to count on the Uruguayan striker Gabriel Fernández, recently operated on a knee, nor with the Colombian defender Willer Ditta, suspended.
América tied this Wednesday, 2-2 in their stadium with the humble Mazatlán and will try to recover their good gameafter adding one victory, one defeat and three draws in their last three games.
With the Mexican Henry Martín, the Colombian Julián Quiñones and the Uruguayan Jonathan Rodríguez, coach Jardine’s azulcremas will come out with an offensive proposal that allows us to predict an open match, with numerous arrivals in the area.
