A goalkeeper older than the coach, a new center back pairing and a bunch of kids — Pachuca could be a disaster but instead is a Liga MX title contender, writes Jon Arnold.
After Omar Gonzalez's 88th-minute headed goal secured a draw for Pachuca to keep the Tuzos undefeated, there was joy. The American center back celebrated with a goofy, guns-blazing dance as his teammates surrounded him and put a (somewhat merciful) stop to his celebration with hugs and pats on the back.
You can forgive a little dancing, though. It had been a difficult day for Pachuca, with Pumas controlling much of the match.
