How did Cruz Azul fare in the first Liga MX match?

Spanish coach Beñat San José's Mazatlán made the headlines on the first day of the 2021 Mexican Apertura tournament with a 2-0 win over champions Cruz Azul at their home stadium, the Azteca.

Mazatlán escaped unscathed from the first-half attacks of Peruvian coach Juan Reynoso's Azules and, with goals from Chilean Nicolás Díaz and Bryan Colula, earned the three points. Cruz Azul had a chance to score in the 70th minute with a penalty kick by Argentine Guillermo Fernández, but goalkeeper Nicolás Vikonis saved the shot and cleared a second shot, after which the home team slowed down.

Mazatlán's victory was the highlight of the first matchday, which was characterized by the good performance of the visiting teams, with five wins, three draws and one defeat. The only local team to score three points was Pachuca, led by Uruguayan coach Paulo Pezzolano, who beat León, the team with which Argentine coach Ariel Holan made his debut, 4-0 on Saturday.
