It took six matches for the first game of the Copa por Mexico to not end in a tie, as Cruz Azul came back to grab a 2-1 victory over Pumas. Pumas had been a superior side in the first half, but only took a one goal lead. In the second half, the substitutes changed the match for Cruz Azul to give them the victory. Cruz Azul will now take a break up until Thursday when they face Toluca, while Pumas will face off against Necaxa on Tuesday.
The first half started with both teams having a mixture of some young players and their normal starters.
