Cruz Azul manager Sergio Bueno (via Vavel): "The result [3-0 loss to Morelia] leaves me with some doubts, but it doesn't lower our morale. This tournament has just begun and we have the quality to change this. I do not like giving excuses, but we had several players [missing]. We must change the way we played for the next game."
