Canal USA Monterey – Cruz Azul

TUDN won the Cruz Azul vs Monterrey match in the United States.

After a goalless draw between the United States and Chivas in Guadalajara, the other semifinal between Monterrey and Cruz Azul will have its first chapter on Thursday at BBVA Stadium. And the result is scheduled for Sunday at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium.

Unlike Chivas and Águilas, Rayados and La Maquina won their quarter-final brackets with fewer losses against Tigres (3-2 on aggregate) and Pumas (4-2 on aggregate), respectively.

This semi-final will be a particularly tough test for Monterrey’s Argentine technical director Fernando Ortiz. ‘Dano’ reached three semi-finals during his tenure as USA coach and failed to reach the final, a feat he hopes to reverse under Rayados’ command.

“For me, being in the semifinals is not a revenge, it’s an opportunity,” said Ortiz, who highlighted Monterrey’s presence among the top three teams in Mexican soccer.

“It was our intention to fight for the championship, we took an important step, now we will face a great player like Cruz Azul; we have the opportunity to sit at the same table with the big three, Monterrey is a big team that will make its own history,” Ortiz said.

In contrast – like Cago with Guadalajara – Argentine Martin Anselmi is coaching his debut in Mexican football and will be looking to add Cruz Azul to the finals.
