It was their first domestic crown in five years.

A group of Cruz Azul fans carried a television, speakers and club flags to a cemetery to watch the game with their deceased friend, Timothy Zendejas Reveles.

The 28-year-old, a dedicated Cruz Azul fan, died on 27 May last year.

Videos posted on TikTok by the late fan’s brother Abraham Zendejas, captured the group in blue shirts gathered around the grave with the TV tuned to the match.

They erupted in celebration as Carlos Rodolfo Rotondi scored the decisive goal in injury time.

The heartfelt tribute quickly went viral with over 250,000 views on TikTok, drawing widespread praise across social media.

One local said: “The Cruz Azul fans are incredible, we’ve suffered so much, it’s the most faithful support.”

Another person added: “Respect to the quality of friends – rest in peace.”

Someone else said: “I’m not a Cruz Azul fan, but I cried so much watching all the videos they were uploading.”

Cruz Azul’s victory sparked major celebrations nationwide, including large gatherings at Mexico City’s Paseo de la Reforma, as reported by Need To Know.

The club had endured a long wait for silverware, making the title especially poignant for supporters who lost loved ones before the long-awaited success.
