Santos Laguna's manager has left a 1-1 draw furious with the tactics his team encountered
Santos Laguna manager Jorge Almada has slammed Cruz Azul for time-wasting in a 1-1 draw on Sunday night, which he blamed in part on "permissive" referees.
His side went down a goal in the 64th minute, and he felt his opponents were cynical in their play from there.
However, Santos Laguna did manage to salvage a point through an 82nd-minute penalty kick conversion from Diego Valdes Contreras.
