The year-long reign of Uruguayan coach,
Sergio Markarian , brought more opportunity for the young Mexican. The next tournament,Primera División Apertura 2007 , Edgar Lugo seemed to be one of Markarian's favorite substitutions. Edgar Lugo participated in 15 games (3 as a starter, 12 as a sub) in which he scored his first goal in Mexico againstPuebla F.C. . As much as he had progressed in the first tournament under Sergio Markarian, his progress took giant steps inPrimera División Clausura 2008 in which Edgar Lugo was an integral part of Cruz Azul's first championship team in 10 years. He participated in all 23 games (15 as starter, 8 as substitute) his team took part in of the tournament. He made his presence known in the back of the goal net 4 times, scoring memorable goals from outside the goalkeeper's box againstCF Monterrey and finishing combination plays from other players againstCF Pachuca andUAG Tecos . Edgar Lugo and Cruz Azul managed to be runners up against a strongSantos Laguna .External links
