Correcaminos and Cruz Azul Hidalgo players clash after match

A confrontation broke out between players and coaching staff following a scoreless draw between Correcaminos and Cruz Azul Hidalgo during Matchday 11 of the Liga de Expansión MX Apertura 2026 season.

The tension escalated after the final whistle at the Estadio Marte R. Gómez. Cruz Azul Hidalgo coach Esteban Landazábal entered the pitch to celebrate with his players, who had managed to secure a draw despite playing with only nine men. This celebration was perceived as a provocation by Correcaminos players, leading to verbal exchanges, shoving, and physical altercations.

Referee Alexis Portillo issued a red card to Landazábal during the melee. While representatives from both teams eventually intervened to calm the situation, the Liga de Expansión MX has yet to announce official sanctions regarding the incident.
