The first game ending in a tie in the Estadio de Mazatlan “Kraken” happened on Saturday when after a lackluster display, Mazatlan FC and Pumas finished 0-0. The teams played what was by far the worst 45 minutes played in the tournament so far, and although they picked it up in the second half it wasn’t enough to either break the tie or consider it to be a good game. Pumas will travel to Monterrey where they will face Tigres, while Mazatlan will also be traveling to face their next match against Pachuca.
The game started with Pumas playing their first game ever in Mazatlan by giving Leonel Lopez and Juan Iturbe their first starts of the tournament, while Mazatlan suffered an injury in the pre-game warmups and thus Carlos Vargas would miss the game for Efrain Velarde.
