Cruz Azul Faces Puebla Amid Coaching Uncertainty in Liga MX

MEXICO CITY, Mexico — Cruz Azul will face Puebla in a critical Liga MX Clausura 2025 match on Saturday, January 25, at 5:00 PM CST, as the team seeks its first victory of the season. The match comes amid significant turmoil for Cruz Azul, following the departure of head coach Martín Anselmi, who left to join Portuguese club Porto.

The team, currently 16th in the league standings, will be led by interim coach Joel Huiqui.

Jesús Orozco Chiquete and Omar Campos, who have already made their debuts, will be joined by additional reinforcements. However, the absence of Anselmi has left the team in a state of uncertainty, with fans eagerly awaiting news of a permanent replacement.

The match will be broadcast live on TUDN and Univision, with coverage available in both English and Spanish. Fans can also follow updates on Diario AS platforms for real-time commentary and analysis.

This clash between Cruz Azul and Puebla marks a pivotal moment in the season for both teams, as they aim to turn their fortunes around in the Liga MX Clausura 2025 tournament.
