Erik Lira
25-Year-Old
Cruz Azul
Liga MX
Defensive effort in draw
Lira recorded three clearances in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Guadalajara.
ANALYSIS
Lira's few ball recoveries helped the visitors to allow no goals against Chivas. Despite finally having their whole defensive rotation healthy, Cruz Azul continued to use Lira as a center-back, away from his nominal midfield position. It's not guaranteed that will remain the case in upcoming fixtures, but he's likely to get plenty of minutes and support in possession and defensive play.
