Juan Reynoso's expulsion for holding onto the ball in the Cruz Azul vs. Tigres match.

Cruz Azul plays with a lot of intensity in the second leg against Tigres and for now manages to equalize the quarterfinal series, with Christian Tabó's goal. However, the team will be without their leader for the second half, as coach Juan Reynoso was expelled for holding onto the ball.

Referee César Arturo Ramos had added three minutes to the first half and surpassing the 46', the scene starring the Peruvian coach occurred. The 'Felinos' tried to play out from the left wing, with Rafael Carioca's pass to Luis Quiñones, who ended up colliding with Juan Escobar, 'La Máquina's' defender.

Due to the impact between the two players, the ball went out of bounds and fell into Juan Reynoso's technical area. The coach took the ball and held onto it, preventing Quiñones from making a quick throw-in. The situation on the field at Estadio Universitario became tense in a matter of seconds.

The referee approached the conflict zone and did not hesitate for a moment to show the red card to the Peruvian coach. 'Cabezón' was surprised by what happened and protested the decision, along with some of his players, but nothing changed the referee's stance.

Juan Reynoso had no choice but to accept the decision and left the field, leaving his assistants in charge. At the moment, Cruz Azul defeats Tigres and equals the series, although the result is not enough, as the criteria of tiebreaker by the position in the general table would weigh and the 'Felinos' have the advantage.
