Cruz Azul and Club América draw 0-0 in San Diego friendly

In a friendly match held at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, Cruz Azul and Club América played to a 0-0 draw. The match served as a preparation tool during the FIFA international break. For América, the game marked the return of goalkeeper Luis Ángel Malagón after a seven-month injury layoff and the debuts of new defenders Santiago Bueno and Santiago Ramos Mingo. Cruz Azul utilized several players, including Ralph Orquín, though the team was missing 'Toro' Fernández due to infection.

Regarding club developments, Cruz Azul is reportedly considering its future kit supplier as it approaches its centenary in 2027. While currently partnered with Pirma, there is speculation that German brand adidas may be interested in taking over the contract for the club’s 100th-anniversary celebrations.

Separately, Antonio Mohamed, currently managing Toluca, has expressed a desire to return to Argentine football in the future, dampening hopes from some Cruz Azul supporters who had wished to see him lead the Mexican club.
