Pumas are the hottest team in Liga MX through two rounds. After storming back to beat Pachuca 3-2, Pumas crushed Atlas 3-1 to move to the top of the table. For the first time in a long time, the matchup against fellow Mexico City rival Club America has meaning. The debate shows and newspapers started talking about the contest Monday, only a day after Pumas took the top spot.
It's easy to see why the Clasico Capitalino is generating so much excitement. Los Universitaros look good with forward Nicolas Castillo already having scored four goals and setting up new teammate Matias Alustiza for another.
