Pumas and Leon had their moments, but overall had a very even nervous game that ended in a 1-1 tie. Pumas will be kicking itself for getting a lead and having a player advantage but then wasting it by getting tied in the final minutes of the game. Leon will have the price of getting the away result after not playing particularly well, and will now be heavily favored at home. Pumas however showed they could compete and more than held their own against them. The return match will be on Sunday in Leon.
The first half started with the news that Pumas’ goalkeeper, Alfredo Talavera, couldn’t get back from his injury and once again Julio Gonzalez would start.
