The departure of Ricardo Ferretti did not change the results panorama in Cruz Azul . With Joaquín Moreno in charge, "La Máquina" achieved one point out of six possible and remains last in the tournament. The recent defeat against Pachuca marked the team's fourth loss in this edition of the Liga MX and keeps the cement makers at the bottom of the table, along with Necaxa and Puebla, they are the teams that have not yet won in the tournament.
The results of Cruz Azul in the 2023 Apertura Tournament have been as follows:
- Atlas 2-0 Cruz Azul
- Cruz Azul 0-2 Toluca
- Tijuana 2-1 Cruz Azul
- Cruz Azul 2-2 Santos Laguna
- Pachuca 1-0 Cruz Azul
These results, combined with the early elimination in the Leagues Cup without winning a match in the 90 minutes, aggravate the football situation the institution is facing. In this tournament, they suffered a 1-2 defeat against Inter Miami, Lionel Messi's team, and advanced through penalties against Atlanta United, only to be eliminated by Charlotte FC in the round of 16, again in a penalty shootout.

The upcoming matches present a great opportunity to get out of the bottom, but when you look at the opponents, it becomes more of a concern for their followers than a scoring alternative. Monterrey away this weekend, and América in the Azteca before the FIFA break become more than challenging rivals in the team's near future with Joaquín Moreno.
The last match at the Azteca against Santos Laguna speaks of discontent among its fans. The fans also do not agree with the decisions made by the management regarding sports management, which result in poor choices in the coaching staff and the lack of effectiveness in bringing in reinforcements to give hierarchy to the squad.
