On matchday 13 of the Clausura 2026, Cruz Azul had a result that changes a little what they had been showing in the tournament.
The 1-2 defeat against Pachuca at the Estadio Cuauhtemoc in Puebla came at a time when the team had managed to maintain some stability in its recent matches.
Pachuca took the lead with a brace from Robert Kenedy, while Christian Ebere scored the only goal for Cruz Azul, in a match where the team tried to stay in the game, but it was not enough to change the result.
And the context had been different.
On matchday 12, Cruz Azul drew 1-1 with Mazatlan, in a match that kept the team in the hunt, although not entirely convincingly
Even so, the table tells a different story.
With 27 points, Cruz Azul remains in second place in the tournament, only behind Chivas, which reflects that, beyond the last result, the team has managed to build its place throughout the matches
And what is coming could be a good time to prove what they are made of, as in the next match they will face a rival that could give them an advantage.
