To the Blue Cross The night of the dead did not scare them by achieving a 2-0 victory over Santos Laguna to add their seventh consecutive victory that allows them to reach 40 points and be just one point away from equalizing the brand of themselves of the Clausura 2021 tournament and León in the Clausura 2019 tournament.
but the victory about the painting directed by Ignacio Ambriz With more than 30,000 people entering the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium who stood firm on a rainy night, it not only brought those benefits, but also allowed them to secure the overall leadership for the league and at the same time get ahead of themselves. three points from the mark of 43 units imposed by América in the 2002 Apertura tournament.
The difference between one brand and another that Cruz Azul can overcome When they have six points left to play against Atlas and Tigres, it is because América achieved it with 19 games played, while the Cruzazulinos and Leonese themselves did so with 17 games like now in the Apertura 2024 tournament.
The truth is that wherever you see it, the Celeste Machine signed a great season with their thirteenth victory of the campaign and the seventh in a row that has them located at the top of the competition and with a style imposed by the Argentine Martín Anselmi that is increasingly noticeable with greater authority.

As well as with Ángel Sepúlveda on the bench to give rookie Mateo Levy the opportunity to add minutes to help comply with the minor rule. But with all these factors Cruz Azul did not lose strength, on the contrary, it played as if by note and although the score was only 2-0, it showed signs of capacity and solvency.
For that reason the goals of Jorge Sánchez in the first half and Ángel Sepúlveda Coming in as a replacement for Levy, they gave him the opportunity to reach 40 points and be one step away from the marks for the highest number of points in short tournaments.
The truth is that beyond the numbers, Cruz Azul will reach the league in full force to try to fight against the curse of the super leader that since the 1971 season has only allowed 10 of the 21 teams that have had that honor in the regular competition to reach the title.
The Machine has achieved it five times, as happened in the 1971-72, 1972-73 seasons. 1973-74, 1978-79 and Closing 2021.
