പചൂക്ക vs ക്രൂസ് അസുൽ

Cruz Azul left Estadio Hidalgo with a 2-1 win over Pachuca, settled by a penalty in the closing stages after the home side had pulled level early on. Gabriel Fernandez put the visitors ahead in the 13th minute, finishing a low cross from Alan Mozo. Pachuca were back on terms by the 19th minute through Francisco Venegas, whose shot hit the crossbar on its way in after a through ball from Rodolfo Pizarro. The decider came after a corner, when Fernandez took a blow to the face going for the ball and the referee pointed to the spot. Substitute Andres Montano scored the penalty. Salomon Rondon thought he had made it 2-2 in the 86th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside. Oussama Idrissi was angry at being substituted and kicked out at the flasks and benches. The result lifts Cruz Azul to third in the overall table, behind America and Chivas. Pachuca are down in 16th with 13 points.
