Wants to make a strong home debut. Atlas is having a dream debut at the Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, because in their first home game they are already winning 1-0 against Cruz Azul, the team with whom they have unfinished business after losing in the Liga MX Supercup before the start of the 2022 Apertura tournament. The goal was scored by Ozziel Antuna and Sebastián Jurado could do nothing about it.
The start of the 'Zorros' was sensational and from the first few minutes they pinned down the 'Máquina' in their own half to nullify their game. It was after winning a corner kick that Luis Reyes sent the ball to the near post and Ozziel Herrera surprised the Cruz Azul defense.
And it was Atlas' '7' who made a diagonal to get rid of his defender and rose high to connect a powerful header, which ended up hitting the back of the net to break the deadlock in Guadalajara.
Cruz Azul vs. Atlas: preview
Atlas, with the Peruvians Anderson Santamaría and Edison Flores, will seek their first victory in the tournament when they face Cruz Azul, where the Peruvian Luis Abram plays. Follow the minute by minute, statistics, incidents, goals, interviews and results of the match to be played at the Jalisco Stadium.
The Mexican football champion has not tasted victory so far in the tournament. The 'Zorros' have a record of a draw against América and a tough defeat (3-2) against Toluca, results that place them in fourteenth place, with only one point.
To make matters worse, they lost on penalties, precisely against their opponent this weekend, Cruz Azul. The rojinegro team drew 2-2 with the 'Máquina' in regular time and was defeated in the penalty shootout of the Champion of Champions definition.
Atlas will face Cruz Azul, who made their Apertura debut with a 3-2 away victory against Tigres, but who had serious doubts in their recent match, where they lost 2-1 to Pachuca at the Azteca Stadium.
