Cruz Azul start CONCACAF Champions League with terrible draw against Arcahaie FC

Cruz Azul got off to an awful start to their CONCACAF Champions League, only getting a 0-0 tie against Haiti’s Arcahaie FC. The game was played in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic instead of Haiti, but the Haitian team played as the home side and got a great result. Cruz Azul had a very poor performance as they failed to create much danger, and although they had almost complete control of the possession they couldn’t break through a Haitian side that “bunkered” all game and defended well. Cruz Azul should be favored to get the win and qualify in the second leg in Mexico City but the tie will leave a sour taste, especially since they couldn’t break down the defense of Arcahaie.
