“Pumas UNAM broke the deadlock as Ángel Azuaje converted from a corner, capitalizing on Atlas's earlier missed chances from Capasso and Duk.”
Pivotal“Atlas equalized in a chaotic sequence right before halftime, with Purata, Herrera, and Hernandez Flores all having attempts before Luís Esteves finally forced the ball home.”
Pivotal“Adalberto Carrasquilla was sent off for a foul deep in stoppage time, leaving Pumas to see out the final moments a man down.”
Atlas
Pumas UNAM
Outstanding performance
Atlas•AttackerAtlas dominated the underlying numbers, out-shooting Pumas 19-10 and creating three big chances to their opponent's one, but it was Pumas who struck first through Ángel Azuaje in the 23rd minute after a corner following a flurry of early chances. Atlas responded just before halftime, with Luís Esteves converting from a goalmouth scramble that saw three shots in quick succession before the ball finally went in. The second half was comparatively toothless despite the flurry of substitutions from both benches, with neither side able to find a breakthrough until Adalberto Carrasquilla saw red in the 87th minute for a foul, capping a bruising and eventually unbalanced Pumas side. For Atlas, sitting mid-table, the point extends a mixed run of form, while Pumas will be frustrated not to have held on to victory given their control of the opening act and their lead position in the table.

With Atlas fresh off a 5-2 mauling by Toluca and Pumas reeling from a 3-0 loss to Chivas, neither team can afford another slip.
