Chivas fell 1-0 to Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario on a Sunday afternoon match to open the 2016 Apertura.
Matías Almeyda's men were unable to open the Apertura with a win or goal that would benefit them. Francisco Palencia's team would look the most menacing in the first half of the game as they produced more opportunities. Edwin Hernández was able to rally back in time to deflect a Pablo Barrera shot and keep the score sheet level.
The game was tight on man-marking and very congested in the final halves for both teams, but it was ultimately a 56th minute bit of miscommunication between Jair Pereira and goalkeeper Rodolfo Cota that cost Chivas the game.
