footwork
After failing to capitalize on Olympic University's dominance against America in the first round of the 2021 Apertura Quarterfinals, they now went against history and sought a win at Azteca Stadium, which put them in the semifinals.
While CU's no-target draw left the coin hanging, the stats from the last tournament didn't exactly benefit the auriazules, who struggled to get wins from azulcremas at home or in other people's yards.
In fact, Dec. 5, 2021, marks exactly six years since the last Oriazul victory in the Colossus of Santa Ursula. Since then, the Eagles and Cats have met 19 times between league and conference play, while the Cougars have only been able to add three.
A little over five years of balance benefited the Azulcremas, who won a total of nine times, while they were left with only two defeats to savor. The remaining eight games were settled by both teams with equalizing scores.
