Cruz Azul 2:1 Puebla FC — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Cruz Azul came from behind to beat Puebla 2-1, with substitute Osinachi Ebere scoring the winner in the 82nd minute after Fernando Monarrez had given Puebla an early lead. The result extends Cruz Azul's strong home form in the Primera Division Apertura, though they left it late against a side that had taken a surprise advantage through a defender's goal.

The turning point arrived in the 28th minute when Alberto Herrera's assist allowed Fernando Monarrez to head Puebla ahead from a set piece, but Cruz Azul responded before half-time as Luka Romero equalised with Jeremy Márquez providing the assist on 44 minutes. After a second half dominated by the hosts, José Paradela crossed for Osinachi Ebere to bundle in the winner 8 minutes from time, with five yellow cards punctuating a scrappy contest.

Cruz Azul controlled the match statistically with 67 per cent possession and 22 shots to Puebla's 10, while their expected goals of 1.26 reflected a deserved win despite Puebla's higher xG in the first half. Fernando Monarrez was the standout player with a 7.8 rating and his goal from defence, though his afternoon was marred by a late yellow card. CheckLive's model clearly favoured Cruz Azul and the result confirmed that prediction. There is no next fixture scheduled.
