Cruz Azul looked right at home this weekend, beginning a new era in the Estadio Azteca with a 3-0 victory over Puebla.
La Maquina bid farewell to the aging Estadio Azul at the end of the Clausura and now share Mexico's largest and most historic stadium with Club America. That change is significant, but fans were far more excited about the changes in personnel before the season. Former America sporting director Ricardo Pelaez arrived this summer and wasted no time in getting to work. The 55-year-old used his contacts and knowledge of the league to bring in proven players.
