Santos has struggled this season on the road, however they have also been able to perform under pressure and overcome adversity. Standing in their way besides 24 years of missed opportunities and calls both close and not as close is a Santos Laguna side that hasn’t backed down from a challenge all season. Juan Ferney Otero’s playmaking abilities along the right side of the pitch will be critical for Santos. Cruz Azul has the momentum, an away goal, and 90 minutes in their building. They should be able to play a game that won’t force them to attack while navigating the devastating Santos counterattack. Luis Romo’s goal lifts a weight from Cruz Azul’s shoulders. Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez had a couple of good opportunities on goal, and the one-on-one match ups between him and center back Matheus Dória were fantastic battles of strategy and physicality. While they didn’t look outstanding during the first match, Cruz Azul was able to get some chances and settle in to a rhythm. In it, they’ll look to put to bed the curse of the cruzazuleada and finally get their first championship since 1997.
