Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul: Painful defeat for the ‘auriazules’ playing at home, in the Olimpico Universitario stadium, in their first appearance in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Clausura Tournament. At all times they were surpassed by the ‘cement machine’ .
Not even the presence of the Peruvian Piero Quispe was enough to put up a fight. In fact, at no time did he demonstrate influence in the proceedings of the contest. He was almost always outplayed by the visitors’ defensive block.
The scorers of the day were Ignacio Rivero and Lorenzo Faravelli. ‘Nacho’ had a couple of chances to seal his double, but he failed against the blocks of Julio González, hero of the night by averting a total of four dangerous chances.
The rematch will be on Sunday, May 12 on the Cruz Azul court, which starts with an important advantage to ensure its access to the semifinals. Although Pumas UNAM should never be considered dead.
