VAR was consulted, and despite claims from los Rayados, Stefan Medina had played all of the Cruz Azul players, including Caraglio, onside by being just a fraction behind the line that the Rayados players had been playing to try and set up an offside trap just outside of the penalty box. Barovero only parried the ball, and Caraglio pounced on the loose ball and fired the home side level. (1) 1-0 (1) /mSRb3ZMZqX- Univision Deportes December 9, 2018Ĭruz Azul would take the lead in the match in the 55th minute after Barovero dealt poorly with a long shot on target. ¡GOOOOOOOOL DE LA MÁQUINA CELESTE DE LA CRUZ AZUL! ¡HAY JUEGO!
The forwards from Cruz Azul did their best to try and get into the box to try and create chances, but the only real chance that Cruz Azul created was when Roberto Alvarado went down in the box without much of a challenge, and a penalty was given to Cruz Azul. Despite the presence of Rogelio Funes Mori, Monterrey could not find a way to score a goal at the Estadio Azteca and Cruz Azul survived a penalty miss to win the match 1-0 and advance to the Liga MX final on the basis of being the higher seeded team.Ĭruz Azul seemed nervous in the first few minutes, although the managed to get a decent chance on goal in 10th minute as they applied some pressure on the Monterrey goal, only for the ball to be cleared out to Funes Mori, who was fouled just inside the halfway line and los Rayados relieved the pressure.Ĭruz Azul had the bulk of possession in the first half, but Monterrey kept La Maquina at bay, with very few chances created by either team as los Raydos looked to slow the game down and get a goal on the counter or from a broken defensive play by Cruz Azul. Monterrey’s season ended in the Liguilla much like their Copa MX run did, dominated and outplayed by a Cruz Azul team that has momentum, timely scoring, and a smother defense going for them.
