Match10 Oct 2026

Jesús Orozco Chiquete leads the rout of Santos Laguna

6‑3, and Jesús Orozco Chiquete took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Cruz Azul tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Match12 Oct 2026

Cruz Azul refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 28 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Emmanuel Sánchez damages knee ligaments — 22 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 22 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Luka Romero, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 10.00

A mark of 10.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A brace, and José Paradela takes the afternoon — 9.04

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. José Paradela provided it, and the 9.04 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

A brace, and Jesús Orozco Chiquete takes the afternoon — 8.93

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Jesús Orozco Chiquete provided it, and the 8.93 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match10 Oct 2026

Cruz Azul make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Cruz Azul have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Remember the name: Luka Romero

He is 21, he is averaging 7.32, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Íñigo Cuesta at Cruz Azul

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Íñigo Cuesta is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Emmanuel Sánchez

30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Cruz Azul lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Jesús Orozco Chiquete

25 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Match3 Oct 2026

Cruz Azul make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Cruz Azul have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Bruno Salgado at Cruz Azul

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Bruno Salgado is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Gabriel Fernández in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cruz Azul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market5 Oct 2026

Cruz Azul may not be able to give Carlos Rotondi what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Carlos Rotondi wants continental football; whether Cruz Azul can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Agustín Palavecino was on a different afternoon to everybody else

9.35. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A defender's afternoon for Willer Ditta

Defensive actions: 21. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Wages eat 220% of everything Cruz Azul earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
