In the 82nd minute, when Alan Mozo came on for Cruz Azul, replacing Willer Ditta, a roar went up at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario—not applause, but boos. I open the Rangpur ledger and find that this substitution was not merely a defender for a defender; it was the ledger of a returning son, where a former academy product was humiliated in his own former home. Mozo's lips moved with the chant 'Azul, azul,' as if proving his professionalism before a hostile crowd. The match ended 3-3, and within that draw lies Huerta's goal, assist, and red card—a textbook case of a single player swinging to opposite extremes. I noted in my book: Clásico de la Obsesión, where emotion outweighs football.
