Cruz Azul remains undefeated in the Leagues Cup, but their trip to Chicago was affected by issues with their aircraft. The team had to change their route after a series of complications in their transfer from New Jersey to Chicago. Cruz Azul continues their participation in the Leagues Cup after having played their first two games in the first phase of the tournament. The team has practically secured their place in the next round after scoring six points after winning two games. Now, they will face Chicago Fire trying to stay within the top four places and thus gain access to the Quarterfinals and, in the same way, continue fighting to lift a new title. ## What happened? After winning against New York City in the 2nd Round, the Machine had to leave the Big Apple and head to the Windy City, but what was supposed to be a two and a half hour flight was extended beyond what was expected due to issues that arose during the flight, a situation that forced the crew to divert the aircraft to Minnesota as a safety measure. ## Why it matters for Cruz Azul? The transfer of the cement team was planned within their agenda after their activity in New Jersey. However, the problems registered during the flight modified the team's plans and affected the day that was destined for the players' recovery. ## What comes next? The diversion to Minnesota represented a significant delay in Cruz Azul's transfer. According to information from Adrián Esparza, the team finally resumed their route and began their arrival in Chicago around 5 pm after the complications registered in the flight from New Jersey. The situation also had an impact on the team's meal. The members of Cruz Azul had not been able to have a meal since breakfast, due to the conditions and the time they spent in transit. The cement team will have to adjust their planning from the new arrival time and the conditions in which the trip developed. The team's logistics will have to consider the additional time the players spent in transit before they could settle back in and continue their preparation.
