Game Preview
The home team snatched a win on the road, but with a certain dose of fortune. They opened the game well, netting twice between the 15th and 19th minutes, and after conceding, hit back in the final minutes of the first half. Afterward, Club Leon’s Frias received a red card five minutes following a goal, which boosted the guests and killed the host’s momentum.
Cruz Azul has not lost in its past 17 matches, and it looks pretty good. At home, this team has been near perfect in the past 10 games, posting 9 wins and only one tie. On seven occasions, it has netted at least twice.
Club Leon was recently removed from the FIFA Club World Cup. After that, they couldn’t count on James Rodriguez for the first meeting with Cruz Azul due to his red-card suspension. Eventually, they lost that game at home. It was a pretty bad stretch for the Green Bellies.
