How is Cruz Azul doing?
Last weekend, La Máquina achieved its first victory of the tournament, after beating the 'Cañoneros' of Mazatlán 2-1 on the field of the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium.

The match will be played at the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium
At the beginning, it was built for American Football matches, being its main use since its inauguration at the end of the 1950s.
This stadium was inaugurated on October 6, 1946 with the name of Estadio Olímpico de la Ciudad de los Deportes, with an American soccer match between the Pumas UNAM and the Aguiluchos del Heroico Colegio Militar.
It is located in Mexico City and has a capacity for approximately 36 thousand people.
For periods, it has been the home of several Mexican soccer clubs (América, Cruz Azul, Atlante and Necaxa).
However, in 1996, the "celestes" determined that this site would be their new home, changing its name to "Estadio Azul".
After being almost 20 years in the colossus of the Nochebuena neighborhood, the Cementeros returned to the Azteca Stadium after the end of their contract.
To date, it is a pavilion that hosts Atlante's games, however, it is also rented and used by public and private companies for events, as well as concerts and massive political and social meetings, among others.
