The reigning Liga MX champions suffered a shock home loss in their first game of the 2021 Apertura
Cruz Azul manager Juan Reynoso has criticized his side's intensity after they suffered a shock home loss to Mazatlan in their first game of the 2021-22 Liga MX Apertura.
The reigning Mexican champions were stunned 2-0 at home, going down to Nicolas Diaz's strike in first-half stoppage time and a second-half goal from Bryan Colula.
Reynoso says his team will have to improve quickly in order to avoid being left behind in the early stages of the Liga MX season, and said the absence of several key players to international duty was not an excuse.
