As Sebastian Jurado stepped onto the pitch for Cruz Azul, it was clear that he was out for revenge. After 1,350 minutes and 15 games, Jurado was finally starting for the club in their match against Puebla. Reaching across the pitch, he made a defining save in the 19th minute, ultimately preserving his team’s lead and inspiring their first victory of the Clausura 2023 tournament.

After a dismal start to the season, Cruz Azul had only earned one point from their opening five matches and were in desperate need of a win. This started a chain reaction, as it earned Sebastian Jurado his chance to step up and prove himself in the face of immense pressure.

The successful performance of the Mexican goalkeeper resulted in Jesus Corona’s suspension being replaced by Jurado in the team’s upcoming match against Atlas at the Estadio Azteca.
