Roberto Alvarado double to turn the match in favor of Cruz Azul against Pumas UNAM for the MX League

Pumas UNAM face Cruz Azul in order to win to qualify for the playoffs for the final league. The ‘University’ went ahead, however, the ‘Machine’ matched the score through Roberto Alvarado. Minutes later, ‘Piojo’ himself turned the score around.

The ‘Louse’ appeared at 12 minutes to score from long distance and then, at 21 ‘, he again had the luxury of getting his double to turn the scoreboard. The Mexican striker arrives on a good streak, as he also inflated America’s networks a few dates ago.

If this result is maintained, Pumas UNAM would not qualify for the playoffs to enter the final league. For its part, the ‘Machine’ would add 26 points and would be in fifth position. The ‘Blues’ do go to reclassification.

The preview of the match

Cruz Azul fell at the Azteca Stadium against León and the chances of direct qualification to the Liguilla were significantly diminished. Now, the team will have to start preparing for next weekend’s match against Pumas, in which the classification to Liguilla could be defined.

The ‘University’ come with fallen morale after losing the game to Santos, who also took away the option of having their qualification for the play-off in their hands. To advance, the ‘Auriazules’ need to beat Cruz Azul and for Pachuca or Atlético de San Luis to win their matches.

The defeat in front of his audience did not leave Juan Reynoso’s team very well, who was clearly looking for a victory in order to be one step closer to direct qualification to the Liguilla. Now, they will have to wait for a victory on the last day and see how their direct rivals, León, Tigres and Toluca, come out.
