Puebla spoil debut of Mazatlan FC’s Estadio “Kraken”in crushing win

Puebla spoiled the party of Mazatlan FC’s first game played in Estadio de Futbol Mazatlan (unofficially called “the Kraken”) by crushing them 4-1. Puebla started better, but Mazatlan seemed to rise the occasion before wilting in the second half. Fans celebrated throughout Liga MX, as many see Mazatlan’s arrival as a “stolen” Monarcas Morelia team, and an aggressive twitter campaign from the team didn’t help things. Estadio Mazatlan thus had a bad first impression, especially because cameras showed what a lot of people thought were cockroaches in the field but they turned out to be Pinacate beetles, which are common in the region.
