El Classico Joven in Estadio Azul. The highlight of the quarterfinals didn’t disappoint. We had a team in Cruz Azul under Paco Jemez with a new approach to a domestic title drought stricken club that has La Maquina inspired in a way i haven’t seen in a long time. Then on the other side of the ring was America, with three wins over Cruz Azul this season, they were looking experienced and ready to grind it out under El Piojo Herrera’s guidance.
The tempo was set from the beginning, yellow card for Mateus Uribe in the sixth minute.
