If the idea was to save legs to go show off in the Leagues Cup, the shot backfired. The simple truth is that Joel Huiqui, driver of Cruz Azul, got his wires crossed for the first time: he read the wrong card and saw how his undefeated record disappeared in the blink of an eye, courtesy of an Atlante who nailed a 2-3 on his forehead.
A setback that La Noria didn't even have a budget for. But of course, if out of pure necessity you leave your four iron horses on the bench - Erick Lira, Carlos Rodríguez, José Paradela and 'Toro' Fernández - it is obvious that the cement team was going to play all three nights on the field.
Cruz Azul's engine broke down and left the door wide open for the Colts of Iron, who took advantage of the gift to relive old glories and savor a victory in the First Division that they had not seen for twelve years.
To complete the prank, Atlante jumped onto the field with the dagger between his teeth. They ran the 90 minutes as if there were no tomorrow, scratching every ball and making the most of the sparks of Luis Calzadilla and Eugenio Pizzuto. These two came out with the long knife and in warlike mode against some cement workers who wanted to save sweat; In the end, in sin they carried penance.
As if the panorama were not thick enough, Cruz Azul decided to self-immolate. First, came the mistake of Colombian Willer Ditta committing a rookie penalty in the final stretch; Then, to finish grinding it, 'Toro' Fernández forgave from the eleven steps.
In addition, the Colts had the personality of a goalkeeper like Óscar Jiménez, who is taking this opportunity with the Blaugranas as the last stop on the train in Liga MX. He knows that if he fails again, exile awaits him, so now he was another of the heroes with saves and saved penalties.
Two more lines to the tiger that ended up filling Huiqui's backpack with stones, who already had ten games in a row without knowing what it was like to bite the dust.
The cross for the coach who has just made the celestial champions is that he began to invent at the worst moment and in front of the least indicated synodal. It was already known that the Colts were not going to go for a walk; They were going to launch themselves from the third rope like true kamikazes in order to bite three points.
Sending Montaño, Romero, Orozco and Ebere into the ring at the beginning completely broke down the cement engine. Seeing that the water reached his neck, the technician sent for the papers of his star pieces to be rescued.
However, no matter how much Paradela, Lira and Charly looked for a miracle, the Barça prank was already accomplished. The Machine was left with the desire, lost the undefeated at the worst moment and goes to the Leagues Cup knowing that experiments in football pay dearly.
