It wasn’t the best performance, but Pumas got a 2-1 win over FC Juarez in their Clausura 2023 opener. FC Juarez took the lead early, but a key red card in the first half changed the match and Pumas took advantage of it. Both teams will need to improve for their next match as Pumas travel to Torreon to face Santos while Juarez will have their first home game of the season against Tijuana.
Pumas came out with a very different starting 11 than past seasons, with a number of young players as well as new signings like Edgar Alaffita and Ulises Rivas.
