Pumas wasted their last opportunity to make the Liguilla as they only tied at home against FC Juarez. The momentum changed when Pumas’ best player got injured and Victor Ignacio Malcorra missed a penalty. Now, Pumas need nothing short of a miracle to qualify as they need to beat Pachuca away and for a combination of results to go their way.
With Pumas needing the win, they started attacking from the start. Pumas came close to scoring first with an own goal scare from Juarez before from the ensuing corner kick an Alan Mendoza shot just went wide.
