Cruz Azul Sits Two Minutes Short of Liga MX Youth-Minutes Quota Before Final Match

Federation credit for Amaury Morales’ U-20 duty pushed the club to the brink of compliance.

Overview

  • As of November 1, Cruz Azul has 1,168 eligible minutes, leaving a two-minute deficit to the 1,170 requirement.
  • Luka Romero leads with 729 minutes, followed by Amaury Morales with 191 plus 59 credited, with Jorge Rodarte, Jaziel Velázquez, Mateo Levy and debutant Emmanuel Sánchez also contributing.
  • The rule allows compensation for youth national-team call-ups, which accelerated Cruz Azul’s tally through Morales’s U-20 participation.
  • Noncompliance would trigger a three-point deduction in the table with a 15% reduction in formation-rights income.
  • Bolavip reports Toluca still needs 238 minutes and could rotate before facing América, a choice that might aid Cruz Azul’s seeding, while Cruz Azul next visits Pumas on November 8.
