\u25cb<\/span>On matchday 13 of Clausura 2026, Cruz Azul produced a slightly different result than what they had shown in the tournament.<\/p>\nThe 2-1 loss to Pachuca at Puebla’s Estadio Cuauhtemoc came at a time when the team had been able to maintain some consistency in recent games.<\/p>\n
Pachuca took the lead with a brace from Robert Kennedy, and Cristian Ebele scored Cruz Azul’s only goal, giving the team a chance to stay in the game, but it wasn’t enough to change the result.<\/p>\n
And the context was also different.<\/p>\n
In matchday 12, Cruz Azul drew 1-1 with Mazatl\u00e1n, a game that, although not completely satisfying, kept the team in the hunt.<\/p>\n
Still, the table tells a different story.<\/p>\n
With 27 points, Cruz Azul remains second in the tournament behind Chivas. This reflects that the team has managed to build up its position throughout the matches, exceeding its previous results.<\/p>\n
In the next match, they will face a rival who will give them an advantage, so this could be a good opportunity for them to prove their abilities.<\/p>\n
Section 14<\/h2>\n
On Matchday 14, Cruz Azul will face Club America in a special time match on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at 11:00 pm ET at the Estadio Banorte.<\/p>\n
America hasn’t had the best tournament, while Cruz Azul arrived from a better position but needs to recover<\/p>\n
Because Cruz Azul has shown that they are competitive and capable of staying at the top, but after what happened in matchday 13, the next step will be to regain control and prove whether they can win at home in \u00c1guilas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
