On Saturday afternoon at the Estadio Azul in Mexico City, Cruz Azul hosted Pumas UNAM. Everything was set for this to be a good game; two of the big four teams were playing, both desperate for a win and needing the points to stay relevant in the tournament. Cruz Azul and Pumas both lined up in slightly different variations of a 4-5-1 formation. Both coaches were feeling the pressure. Pumas coach, David Patiño had been given the dreaded vote of confidence by the higher ups at Pumas but the pressure was still high to turn the season around.
