Cruz Azul comes into the Torneo Clausura 2015 fresh from the FIFA Club World Cup with only one preseason game.

"It's always a pleasure to watch Pachuca vs. Cruz Azul, and I'm especially excited to take part in narrating this matchup at the start of a new season," noted Deportes
Telemundo soccer analyst and commentator Carlos Hermosillo, who helped Cruz Azul to victory many times in the 1990s. "Pachuca played well at the end of last season and made it to the finals.
