In the second half, those led by Tuca Ferretti tried from all sides but between luck and the resistance of the foxes they made Cruz Azul blank. Camilo Vargas had outstanding interventions for the rojinegros and at minute 69 the controversy came with a penalty claimed by the cementers and that the referee did not even check through the VAR.
¡Atajadón de Camilo Vargas!
