Cruz Azul remains unstoppable under Joel Huiqui. The Mexican manager extended his unbeaten run to 10 official games after lifting the Campeón de Campeones against Toluca on July 20, 2026, adding a second title in just four months at the helm of La Máquina.
How did Huiqui go 10 games unbeaten with Cruz Azul?
Since taking charge in April 2026, Huiqui has managed 10 official matches with eight wins and two draws. His streak began in Clausura 2026, where Cruz Azul knocked out Atlas in the quarterfinals, beat Chivas in the semifinals, and defeated Pumas 2-1 in the final to claim the Liga MX title. The perfect finish came with the Campeón de Campeones, as the sky-blue side beat Toluca 3-1 on July 20, closing a week of celebrations for the fans.
La Máquina has scored five goals and conceded three this season, with a +2 goal difference. Their last result was a 2-1 home win over Puebla on July 22, 2026. With these numbers, Cruz Azul sits second in the standings with six points after two Apertura 2026 matches, opening with back-to-back wins.
What does Huiqui’s record with Cruz Azul say?
The Mexican coach is already among the best-starting managers in recent club history. His first title came in Clausura 2026, and now he has added the Campeón de Campeones, building a project that thrills the fans. The stats back it up: in his first 10 games, Huiqui has only dropped two draws, showing tactical solidity and a team that delivers under pressure.
The unbeaten run includes key playoff wins like the 2-1 over Pumas in the Clausura final, and the 3-1 against Toluca in the Campeón de Campeones. These results reflect a compact side, with defensive steel and the knack for scoring when it matters.
What’s next for Cruz Azul?
La Máquina keeps rolling. After the title, the sky-blue side has rattled off three straight wins and eyes extending their hot streak. Their next test comes on August 2, 2026, when they host Atlante FC at home. With the visitors sitting 11th in the table, Cruz Azul aims to grab three more points and lock down a top-four spot.
The fans are already buzzing over Huiqui’s work, who has pulled off what looked impossible: keeping Cruz Azul on top without a loss. Can La Máquina keep this winning run going in Apertura 2026? Time will tell, but for now, the team keeps rolling.
