Overview

• Cruz Azul leads the Apertura 2025 with 23 points from nine matches (seven wins, two draws) as the league’s only unbeaten team.
• Nicolás Larcamón became the fifth manager in club history to record seven consecutive Liga MX victories, delivering an 85% points effectiveness in his first tournament.
• The upcoming double matchweek brings Querétaro at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario and Tijuana away at the Estadio Caliente, a schedule that will test rotation and depth.
• Through nine rounds the team ranks as the third-best attack with 19 goals and, per reports, the second-best defense in the tournament.
• Analysts praise the high-intensity, front-foot approach but warn that defensive lapses persist and call for better balance to sustain results into the Liguilla.
