Cruz Azul Makes History: Ties Winning Record and Nears Points Mark
Cruz Azul has made history by tying its all-time winning record and nearing its highest ever points total in the Mexican Primera División. La Máquina Cementera has set a new benchmark for success, showcasing their unwavering determination and exceptional talent on the pitch.
Tying the Winning Record
On Saturday, Cruz Azul defeated Atlético San Luis 2-0, extending their winning streak to seven games. This triumph marked the club's seventh consecutive victory in the Apertura 2022 tournament, tying their previous winning streak achieved in the Apertura 2020 tournament.
The last time Cruz Azul won seven straight games was under the guidance of Juan Reynoso, who led the team to the long-awaited Liga MX title in 2021. Now, under the stewardship of Raúl Gutiérrez, La Máquina is once again proving their mettle, showcasing their ability to maintain high levels of performance throughout the season.
Nearing the Points Mark
Cruz Azul's impressive winning streak has propelled them to the top of the Apertura 2022 standings, with 25 points from 10 games played. This tally is just two points short of their highest ever points total at this stage of a tournament, which they achieved in the 2017 Apertura under the management of Paco Jémez.
With eight games remaining in the regular season, Cruz Azul is well-positioned to surpass their previous points mark and potentially secure the top seed in the Liguilla playoffs. The team's unwavering focus and relentless pursuit of victory have made them a force to be reckoned with, and they are determined to write another chapter in their storied history.
