A new defeat for Cruz Azul sinks them even further in Liga MX

Another defeat, this time against Santos Laguna by 2-0, for Cruz Azul to keep sinking in Liga MX. The team managed by Pedro Caixinha has not performed well in the 9 rounds of the Clausura Tournament.

With the Portuguese on the bench, La Noria has reached its worst winless streak in the history of the institution. But that's not the only unfavorable statistic for the coach.

In the last decade, Cruz Azul, after 9 matches in Liga MX, had never collected only eight points in the standings. With Pedro Caixinha in the Clausura 2018 Tournament, the Hidalgo team achieved its worst performance.

In the Apertura 2014 and Clausura 2017, under Luis Fernando Tena and Paco Jémez respectively, 'La Máquina Cementera' also reached only 9 points after playing the same number of matches in the short tournaments.

To make matters worse for Cruz Azul, historical data shows that the team has never reached the Liguilla whenever they have accumulated 10 or fewer points by the ninth round of Liga MX.
