In a thrilling week 2 match of the 2025-26 Liga BBVA MX Torneo Apertura, Atlas and Cruz Azul played to a 3-3 draw at Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara. Atlas, playing a 4-2-3-1 formation, managed to secure a point despite having significantly less possession (27.9%) compared to Cruz Azul (72.1%). The AI prediction favored an Atlas win, which ultimately did not materialize, even though the AI expected a balanced game.
Atlas's goals came from Eduardo Aguirre in the 17th minute, Diego González in the 31st minute, and Dória in the 60th minute. Cruz Azul's Ángel Sepúlveda proved to be the hero for his team, scoring a hat-trick with goals in the 55th (penalty), 58th, and 90th minutes, salvaging a draw for La Máquina. Cruz Azul showcased a strong attacking presence, recording 29 total shots compared to Atlas's 10, although their shots on target were only slightly better (5 vs. 4).
Both teams committed a fair number of fouls, with Cruz Azul committing 15 and Atlas 10. Both sides received two yellow cards each. The goalkeepers were relatively busy, with the Cruz Azul goalkeeper making 1 save and Atlas's keeper making 2 saves.
Atlas's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games, while Cruz Azul has two wins, one loss, and two draws in their last five. In the previous head-to-head matches, draws have been a common outcome. This result continues the trend of closely contested matches between these two Liga BBVA MX teams.
Considering their recent performances, both teams will need to address defensive vulnerabilities to improve their chances in upcoming matches. For Atlas, maintaining their scoring touch while improving possession will be key. Cruz Azul needs to convert their dominance in possession into more clinical finishing. This draw reflects the competitive nature of the Liga BBVA MX, where any team can challenge for points on any given matchday.
