Behind a wonder goal and a lively performance, Pumas defeated Pachuca to get a 3-1 win and secure their second victory of the Clausura 2024. It was a very even match throughout and Pachuca might have deserved better as they pressured the home side for all 90 minutes, but Pumas continued their offensive spark under new manager Gustavo Lema.
The match featured the first start of Peruvian international Piero Quispe with Pumas. After a run, César Huerta got a cross into the area that defender Sergio Barreta almost cleared into an own goal. Pachuca had a great chance when Alan Batista got off right-footed shot that Pumas’ goalkeeper Julio González blocked, but almost sent into his own net after the ball bounced off him, but went wide.
