Score of 0-0 at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, which was once again the home of Cruz Azul, and in the midst of a sea of ​​uncertainty, especially for the cement workers, who came out frustrated from a match that they dominated and tried to kill, although the ball never entered the oldest venue that Mexican soccer currently has.

Among all the frustration of the La Noria team, a name stands out that keeps the Liga MX Final more loaded, potentially, for the Auriazul side: Keylor Navas.

The cement goalkeeper was the best on the field, by far, even from early on when he won a one-on-one against Ebere when just 4 minutes had passed, then with an impressive shot by Paradela from outside the area, and with another couple of interventions in the second half.

The other factor in this Final for Cruz Azul was their lack of aim, also including a post at the beginning of the second half, against Pumas who, as technical director Efraín Juárez had warned, were appealing to zero for this match.

Robert Morales, almost in the last play of the game, crashed the ball into the crossbar, when those led by Joel Huiqui showed their disappointment more after physically demanding themselves to not have a reward and with refereeing that deepened the desperation of La Maquina, with a couple of controversies over a possible red card to Duarte and a penalty knocked down by the VAR, both of which occurred in the first half.

The return will be this Sunday in Ciudad Universitaria, in a Final that, at least on paper, has Auriazules overtones, but with that factor that only soccer can provide in a dispute for the title, and even more so between two of the greats of Liga MX: the ball is still in play.
