Despite missing playoffs, Ángel Sepúlveda’s career season won’t soon be forgotten

Cruz Azul are all but eliminated from playoff contention. They currently sit 16th overall with 17 points - 3 behind León and Santos for 9th and 10th respectively and the final play in spot - with just one game to go in the regular season and 5 teams standing between them and a playoff berth. It’s been an up and down season for La Máquina to say the least, and despite being close to punching a ticket to the playoffs, losing 9 games out of a possible 16 can never help your cause.

But if there’s one positive in Cruz Azul’s Apertura 2023, it’s their in-season acquisition, Ángel Sepúlveda.
