Luego de la ultrajante derrota 7-0 ante América, Cruz Azul decidió darle las gracias a Diego Aguirre y acaba de manera anticipada su labor como director técnico del club. Si bien las enmudecidas redes sociales de La Máquina no han confirmado la noticia, varios medios mexicanos reportan el despido y que el proceso de búsqueda de un nuevo DT está en marcha.
The Major Leeds Soccer (MLS) experiment stunned the football community Sunday by recording its first win over Chelsea in almost 20 years, a 3-0 clinic at Elland Road, with USMNT attacker Brenden Aaronson scoring his first goal for the club and compatriot Tyler Adams putting Mason Mount in his back pocket for 77 minutes.
A blood and thunder start to the match was followed by a period of Chelsea superiority where it looked like the Blues would ultimately punish Leeds' wild ways, but Jesse Marsch's team seems to gather its strength from periods of distress.
En una semana en la cual el América se sacudió del mal rendimiento que venía trayendo en el Apertura 2022, Jonathan Rodríguez también despertó y se despachó con tres goles en tres partidos.
Mucho se habló de la llegada del delantero al equipo azulcrema, pues en su primera etapa en México (Santos y Cruz Azul) el uruguayo había sido de los mejores jugadores de la liga. No pocos, entonces, consideraban que su fichaje era el más prometedor del semestre para el América.
Fútbol champagne y goles para todos los gustos. América humilló a Cruz Azul en el Estadio Azteca con un ¡7-0! que se convirtió en la mayor goleada en la historia del Clásico Joven.
Sí, ¡SIETE - CERO!
Las Águilas se encontraron con un equipo que venía con la moral baja – tres derrotas consecutivas – y al verlo como zombie desde el primer minuto, no le tuvo un gramo de piedad.
Fue un concierto coral y cuya máxima expresión fue el hecho de que los siete goles los hicieron siete jugadores diferentes.
