Pumas jeered as they lose at home to Tijuana

The firing of Coach Francisco Palencia didn't change anything for Pumas as they once again fell at home, this time to Xolos of Tijuana 2-0. With the return to league play of Chilean national teamers Nico Castillo and Marcelo Diaz, starting for the first time during new coach Sergio Egea's tenure, Pumas was expected to improve at home but did anything but. After a sluggish first half where they had the ball but never really threatened, Pumas went down to an early second half goal by Gustavo Bou. Although the urgency increased and led to Pumas doing their best all game after the goal, they failed to create many opportunities and were lucky not to be down more goals.
