90 minutes separate Cruz Azul from ending the drought 2:02
(CNN Spanish) -
Cruz Azul has returned to be champion of Mexico after a drought that it suffered for more than 23 years.
The cement machine defeated Santos Laguna on the aggregate of the final of the 2021 Guard1anes Tournament by 2 to 1, after winning 1 to 0 in the first leg and equalizing 1 to 1 in the second leg, which was played at the Azteca Stadium.
Why is it said that Cruz Azul has a "curse" in the football finals?
The goal that earned the celestial team a title came through the Uruguayan Jonathan Rodríguez, at minute 51. It was the draw for Cruz Azul since Santos had taken the lead in the first half, with a goal from Chilean Diego Valdés.
Cruz Azul smiles again at the hands of Peruvian coach Juan Reynoso, who was also champion of Mexico with the club as a player, in 1997.
