Primera Divison opener: Cruz Azul vs. UANL Tigres July 23

Cruz Azul will begin their season on July 23, 2011 against UANL to open the Primera Division's Apertura tournament. The Blue Machine will be a tough task for UANL as the Tigres are a middle of the road team at best. However, look for UNAL's Lucas Lobos to make an impact.

Lobos started all but two matches for Tigres over the past two seasons and is the key player for Tigres front four. As the team's captain, he’s a great distributor of the ball, as well as a solid scorer. Lobos will turn 30 in August, but that shouldn't slow down his high level play.

For Cruz Azul I am looking forward to seeing the goalkeeping of José de Jesús Corona. Corona signed with Cruz Azul for 3 years. That same year he helped Cruz Azul reach the league final against CF Monterrey, finishing runners-up.
