Summary
In summertime, President Billy Alvarez reinforced the squad with Peruvian Defender Juan Reynoso, Forward Marcelo Delgado[1] and midfielder Marco Garces. The squad performance during the first half of the season was irregular due to an unbalanced performance: a superb offensive line but a weak defensive guard. During the mid season the club replaced young Goalkeeper Oscar Perez with Argentine Norberto Scoponi also manager Enrique Meza was sacked [2] and Luis Fernando Tena was appointed for the second half of the season.[3] The season is best remembered by the 91 goals registered by a powerful offensive line aimed by Julio Zamora assists and Hermosillo clinching another league topscorer title.[4] In league the team finished 3rd in the league's overall table, defeating Pumas UNAM in quarterfinals with a late goal scored by Right back Defender Guadalupe Castañeda.[5]
Cruz Azul appeared in the playoffs. In the semi-finals they beat Club América (with whom they share Estadio Azteca) in the semi-finals.[6][7] Reaching the final for the first time since 1989[8] they drew Necaxa 1–1 in the first leg,[9][10] but lost the second leg 0–2 for a 3–1 aggregate.[11][12]
In the 1994–95 Copa México they were eliminated in the first round by second tier side Irapuato.[8]
