Seconds before the start of the Liga MX quarterfinal second leg between Cruz Azul and Toluca , a scene of much tension was starring Jesus Crown, captain of “La Machine” and the main Fernando Hernández . It was enough a couple of indirect comments from “Chuy” towards the refereeing for the spirits to heat up before the kickoff .

This was the dialogue between Jesús Corona and the referee

– Today the fair play wins … Today there will be no 12 players -said Corona.

-Forgives? Hernández asked with notorious indignation.

Corona’s first response is inaudible due to the ambient noise. However, we can hear the sermon of the referee, who had clearly heard the detonating phrase of the Cruz Azul goalkeeper.

– Are you threatening us? -the referee raises the tone of voice.

-No, with all due respect…

-Jesus, you have to do your thing. You win with respect for your opponent and you lose with pride. We’re? Comes out? -concludes the main.

Then, both Corona and Rubens Sambueza, captain of Toluca, nodded. The tense moment passed and the game began.

Cruz Azul won 3-1 (aggregate 4-3) to go back and eliminate Toluca from the league . The hope to be crowned remains intact for the cement machine. They expect Monterrey or Santos Laguna in the semifinals.

THE MOMENT!

The Machine continues alive, is in the semifinals ⚽🚂
