Cruz Azul goal: Carlos Rotondi scored the 1-0 against Querétaro in the Liga MX.

The football level of Cruz Azul has been deficient in the Clausura Tournament, but the team still has options to make it to the playoffs to fight for the title. The possibility of continuing the fight will depend on the match against Querétaro and for now, things are going in the best way: Carlos Rotondi scored the 1-0 for the 'Máquina'.

On the lawn of the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, at minute 33, the team led by coach Raúl Gutiérrez began an attack on the right, led by Gonzalo Carneiro. The powerful Uruguayan forward entered the area, made a feint, and decided to send a cross to the smaller rectangle.

The pass was perfect, since Carlos Rotondi did not need to jump to connect with the ball to score. Goalkeeper Washington Aguerre was surprised by what happened and couldn't react, while the entire Cruz Azul team embraced in a fraternal hug to celebrate.

The preview of Cruz Azul vs. Querétaro

Cruz Azul has had a very irregular season and the chances of making it to the playoffs to fight for the title are getting smaller and smaller. The stay of coach Diego Aguirre was not the best and his cycle ended in the worst way: he lost 7-0 in his visit to América, in a new edition of the Clásico joven.

The categorical defeat suffered by the 'Cementeros' provoked a reaction from the board: the Uruguayan coach was dismissed and Raúl Gutiérrez was quickly appointed. The objective of the new strategist, in the first place, will be to end the bad streak of four consecutive defeats in the Liga MX.

On the other hand, Querétaro is also not in their best moment and they only achieved their first victory of the season a week ago, when they defeated Tijuana 2-0 at home, with goals from Pablo Barrera and Ángel Sepúlveda. However, the joy did not last long, as in the next game the team fell to América (0-1).
