Edison Flores is already a figure: 'Orejas' assists in Atlas' 3-1 victory against Cruz Azul in Liga MX.

Diego Cocca's changes are working. Edison Flores appeared again at Estadio Jalisco, but this time to assist Julián Quiñones in Atlas de Guadalajara's 3-1 victory over Cruz Azul, in the match corresponding to the third matchday of the Apertura 2022 tournament of Liga MX.

Although the visitors had a better performance in the first half, Diego Cocca's team is taking perfect advantage of Carlos Rotondi's expulsion, which left them with a numerical advantage. This has led the hosts to take possession of the ball and place more players in the opposing half.

Furthermore, the entrance of 'Orejas' has provided better attacking alternatives for the Guadalajara team. The Peruvian midfielder has not only appeared to overflow on the left flank but also to combine with the creative midfielders.
