However, “The Machine” could not violate the arc of Hugo Lloris. Cruz Azul tried it, took over 71% of the possession of the ball, made 32 shots (10 of them with goal direction) and took up to 11 corner kicks. But the French goalkeeper was sure and the Mexican inaccuracy was also noticeable.

At minute 90+7, A well executed penalty by Denis Bouanga made the score 1-1 and ended a series that was 1-4. Nicolás Larcamón and Cruz Azul leave empty-handed on the international level.

But Cruz Azul was not the only one who failed on the day. The Águilas del América had a much more encouraging context at the Banorte Stadium. André Jardine’s team only had to beat nashville. The second leg had been 0-0.

But it wouldn’t be a simple duel. As happened with Cruz Azul, The Águilas del América had a much more offensive game motivated by the home team. But Nashville represented greater opposition to the azulcremas.

The America of André Jardiné carried out until 18 shots in the match. But Brian Schwake remained solid in defending his goal. The American goalkeeper made up to 8 good interventions to keep his goal unbeaten.

Nashville would show off its efficiency on offense. The American team only had 2 shots on goal in the entire match. One of them was Hany Mukhtar’s goal in the 51st minute of the game.

It was a sad night for Mexican soccer. Two great representatives of Liga MX fell from home. There are still two Aztec football contenders in the race. The Red Devils of Toluca and the Tigres of the UANL.
