Friday night soccer action heats up as Mazatlán FC hosts Cruz Azul in a Clausura 2026 showdown at Estadio El Encanto in Sinaloa. This Jornada 12 matchup pits a Cruz Azul side looking to solidify their position near the top of the Liga BBVA MX table against a Mazatlán team battling to climb out of the lower half of the standings.
Cruz Azul enters the contest in second place with 26 points, coming off a 2-2 draw against Pumas where they relinquished a lead. Despite the dropped points, Nicolás Larcamón’s squad remains in strong form and will aim to take the league lead with a victory. Their mid-week success in securing a spot in the Quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup adds another layer of confidence to their campaign.
