Cruz Azul culminate historic regular season as playoffs loom

Cruz Azul won on Saturday. What’s new, right? In what was supposed to be a rather simple victory after jumping out to a 2-0 lead within the first 20 minutes against the league’s 2nd worst defense and 3rd worst team overall, La Máquina suprisingly ended up hanging on to dear life with a 3-2 lead over a menacing Atlético de San Luis squad in the final minutes. Cruz Azul has now gone undefeated in its last 14 matches, and have also won 13 out of said 14 matches. No other word to describe this span other than mind-blowing. Simply unheard of in Mexican Football.
