Cruz Azul are one step closer to their first Liga MX title since 1997 after getting a 1-0 win over Pachuca. Cruz Azul was the better team tonight, and will be hosting the second leg of the final after a great season where they finished in first place and once again are in a Liga MX final. The game failed to live up to expectations, although it improved in the second half. Cruz Azul did their job against a Pachuca side that ran out of steam after a surprising quarterfinal series in which they defeated Club America. Cruz Azul will now wait to see who they play after Sunday’s match between Santos and Puebla.
Cruz Azul defeat Pachuca and qualify to Liga MX final
