Pumas UNAM squeaks by to victory against Leon

Javier Cortes scored the first team goal of the season (their only other goal was an own goal from Chivas) and Pumas squeaked by 1-0 for their second victory of the year.

Pumas dominated all game but Leon had the best chances, with a missed penalty kick and a wide open goal that Mauro Boselli missed. Pumas deserved the win and once again, Alejandro Palacios proved that he has been the best goalkeeper of the league with a penalty save and some other good saves.

New Pumas coach Francisco Palencia has struggled to get his team to play the way he wants to and today that continued.
