For Cruz Azul, anything that adds in the liguilla will be important, like the 1-0 victory this Saturday in a spectacular Banorte stadium that rev He lived the old brilliant epochs of the “Celestial Machine” on the Atlas 1-0 to advance to the semifinals with what was necessary on the global scoreboard 4-2.

A victory that, after the nine games that added without knowing the victory under the command of Argentinian Nicolas Larcamon, between matches in the Liga MX and the Concachampions, everything that the celestes do to stay alive in the liguilla he will taste victory after it seemed that the tournament was destroyed by falling from the overall leadership to the third place that now would put him on the path of Chivas or Toluca.

Things were so favorable for the Celestials that the changes made by Joel Huiqui to move Omar Campos to the left along with Carlos Rotondi has given unusual strength in front of the cemeteries and that, combined with the style of newbie Jorge Rodarte for the sec tor right and of Amaury Garcia in containment, have generated a practical and determining style in which the African Christian Ebere together co n Carlos Rodriguez, Agustín Palavecino and Jose Paradela have made a more determining scheme that has given the second air to the cemeteries.

Cruz Azul now was more practical and after the great goal by Jose Paradela at the 31st minute, it was enough to bill the ticket to the semifinals, giving a demonstration of sobriety and tactical cleanliness that was complicated for Atlas to get away and generate something more to be able to change history.

Thus, the celestials sought to maintain the one goal advantage achieved in the first game and although they had some hot flashes due to distractions in the risk zone, in the end they managed even to maintain the goal advantage and with today's Paradela they ended rejecting some red-and-black who never lowered their sails, but rather, on the contrary, came to die with their heads held high.

Now Cruz Azul will have to wait 24 hours to find out his next rival, but this could be Chivas if Pumas eliminates Ame rich or Pachuca or Toluca, if America beats the Pumas and the classic of classics between Aguilas and Chivas is generated.
