Real Edges Cruz Azul 2 - 1

Good teams find a way to win when they are not playing well. This was the case against Cruz Azul. For the second week in a row, Real struggled to finish numerous scoring opportunities. After a Cruz Azul player was sent off for a tough tackle, Real played as if the numbers were still even. Cruz Azul took the lead when a penalty kick was awarded for a hand ball. Real finally equalized when Ruben Mora assisted Jimmy Frazelle. Real continued to attack and finally took the lead with less than 3 minutes left. A scramble in the Cruz Azul box led to a Sean-Michael Callahan cross to Ali Managhebi for the winner. Next week, Real San Juan plays an always tough Academica team in Turlock.
