Rotondi a doubt for the return leg against América
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The Machine could suffer another loss. Rodolfo Rotondi is a doubt for the Semifinal return leg between Cruz Azul and América due to discomfort in his right knee that prevented him from training normally this Saturday. The physical problem arose after a defensive clearance in the first leg, when he tried to stop Javairo Dilrosun. Although he succeeded, the movement caused him discomfort that has persisted since then. RÉCORD reported that the player was seen at the hotel with a bandage and a knee brace, which reinforces the uncertainty about whether he will be able to be in the starting lineup. The final decision will be made on Sunday itself, before the start of the match. If Rotondi doesn't play, he would join the losses of Andrés Montaño and Gabriel Fernández. So far, he has been a key player for Cruz Azul, with 17 matches played in the Clausura 2025, four goals and three assists. 📸 Manuel Velasquez - 2025 Getty Images

Cruz Azul: Watch Andrés Montaño's golazo for Cruz Azul in Liga MX quarter-final
Cruz Azul's Andrés Montaño delivered one of the standout moments of the Liga MX Clausura 2025 playoffs with a thunderous strike that gave La Máquina a 2–0 lead against Club León in Thursday night's quarter-final first leg — a goal now making waves across social media. Montaño's golazo came in the 19th minute, when the 21-year-old midfielder pounced on a loose ball just outside the box and rifled a left-footed rocket into the top corner. Llegó el 2o gol de la máquina cementera!!! Largo recorrido de Andrés Montaño quien dispara y le desvían el tiro a puerta para aumentar la ventaja !! León 0-2 #CruzAzul — Puro Cruz Azul (@pur0cruzazul) May 9, 2025 León goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota could only watch as the net rippled — the goal was both a stunner and a statement. Cruz Azul had already taken an early lead through Ignacio Rivero, and Montaño's goal appeared to put them firmly in control. The midfielder wasn't done either — he added a second before half-time, completing a brace and pushing the score to 3–1. Despite León fighting back in the second half, including a goal from Iván Moreno and a spirited spell even after Adonis Frías was sent off in the 51st minute, Cruz Azul held on for a crucial 3–2 away win. But it was Montaño's first goal — a moment of individual brilliance — that defined the match and gave fans a viral highlight to replay on loop. With the return leg at the Estadio Azteca looming, Cruz Azul carries the advantage, and Montaño now carries the spotlight.
