Amazing Results from Goirre's second placed Pumas, while America are upset, Chivas make a 3 goal comeback, and Cruz Azul Please crowds, where the Argentinians shine.
Away Leg Jaguares 1 - Cruz Azul 2 A very even match, both teams came close to various goals, but in the end Cruz Azul were the victors. Jaguares Goalkeeper Ortiz commited a mistake in the back twice, and twice Cruz Azul took advantage. Luciano Figueroa draws first blood with a header from a corner kick, taking advantage of Ortiz's terrible run. The second was an Own goal, when one of the defenders, meaning to head the ball out placed it in his own net. Again, Ortiz was unfortunate to run outand miscommunicate, as he could have stopped the own goal. Pumas 2 - Atlas 1 Pumas was the superior team as they made most chances. Botero scored both of Pumas' goals. Chivas 0 - Atlante 2 Penalty converted by Luis Gabriel Rey and second goal came from Pacheco America 2 - Toluca 3 Another Even match, Navia opens the scoring, with an equaliser from Da Silva. Again Navia gives Aguilas the lead, but Lozano and Da Silva give Toluca he Definite lead THE EXCITING RETURN LEG Jaguares 2 - Cruz Azul 2 Pumas 3 - Atlas 1 One would think that Atlas would improve their game because of their disadvantage on aggregate goals, but it was Pumas who showed Atlas why they have the best defensive and offensive record in league. Fonseca Begins th rampage, with Marioni following in the second half with a header, and then again Fonseco scres with a shot from outside the box. Atlas was able to pick up a consolation goal at the 88th minute with Robert da Pihno Chivas 3 - Atlante 1 Another great match. Chivas came out with a full squad, who's international players will be practicing in Mexico, so they were available on saturday. Chivas hopes of reaching the semi's were shot down when Atlante's Fernando Arce scored early in the first half to bring the aggregate score to 3-0. However, with a big stroke of luck, two of Atlante's players were given Red cards, one in the frst half and the other early in the second. Immediately after after the second booking Civas countered witha goal fom Miguel Sabah. Shortly thereafter, goals came in from Bravo and Palencia. America 0 - Toluca 1 A bland game lacking real opportunities, America was missing their top men from all three sectors of the field, Defense, Midfield and Attack, and were playing in front of an EMPTY estadio Azteca. Toluca's goal was scored late in the second half by Israel Lopez, with little time for America to recuperate and equalize the 4-2 aggregate lead. |

GAWD Why are Mexicans so lazy! Mexico played really ugly on Sunday, beating St. Vincent 1-0. What's worst is that St. Vincent actually had a couple of chances of equalizing. After beating them 7-0 four days Earlier, Mexico plays a really crappy match and beats them by the minimum difference.
Mexico's coach, Ricardo La Volpe, is really getting on my nerves. I'm not going to blame him COMPLETELY for Mexico's failure in the Olympics and the American Cup, But he trust too much on his Toluca Players (he was formerly the coach of CD Toluca). Israel Lopez is not a great player, definitely not one of Mexico's greatest in my opinion, yet LaVolpe insists on making him a starter. Luis Ernesto Perez, a much better player never gets the playing time he deserves because LaVolpe prefers Lopez over him. He's better than Zinha, an amazing player for his club team, but I don't think he's really proved himself on the national team. Yet LaVolpe INSISTS on making him a starter. What a stubborn turd. Mexico plays on wednesday against Trinidad and Tobago. Until then, Peace y'all |
