Overview

  • The club filed its case with the Liga MX disciplinary commission after Rodarte was sent off early in Tijuana, with a decision expected as soon as Tuesday.
  • Excélsior reports VAR showed Rodarte play the ball before accidental contact, yet referee Jorge Abraham Camacho upheld the dismissal after a delayed review.
  • Accounts differ on the exact minute of the expulsion, with reports stating either the fourth or the eighth, and Xolos forward Adonis Preciado continued until halftime.
  • The 2-0 defeat at Estadio Caliente dropped Cruz Azul to fourth on 24 points, with Toluca and Monterrey leading on 25 after Jornada 11.
  • Coach Nicolás Larcamón condemned the decision’s impact on a 21-year-old in only his second top-flight match, as league tallies show Joao Pedro leading scorers with 8 goals and Alexis Vega topping assists with 8.
