Quakes v Cruz Azul

Before a sellout crowd of 18,000 the Quakes and Cruz Azul played to a scoreless draw.  The match was eventful in the sense that the game was played at a mini-Azteca and was the second Liga MX team that the Quakes hosted this season, having played Leon in March.

The game also marked the return of Rafa Baca, who spent 3 seasons with the Quakes from 2011 to 2013.  His return to the Quakes as a second half sub was met with respectable cheers.
