Pumas improved but couldn’t hold on to a lead and Mazatlan was able to come back, getting a 2-2 tie at home. It was a very poor first half from both sides, in which Mazatlan had taken the lead on a somewhat controversial penalty kick. The second half however had a Pumas side that was the better team but Mazatlan was able to get the tying goal in what might be considered a fair result, but one that both teams might rue losing two points, especially with the tough calendar. Pumas will now have a very tough trip to Monterrey to face Tigres, while Mazatlan will also have to travel to face Tijuana.
Mazatlan and Pumas start slow but finish well in spirited tie
