Cruz Azul get last minute win over Pumas in controversial fashion

Referee Cesar Ramos wrote another chapter in his controversial career against Pumas, awarding a last minute penalty kick that gave Cruz Azul the 1-0 victory over Pumas. Ramos, who has had personal problems with Pumas keeper Alfredo Talavera before, was lambasted by Pumas players at the end who like many fans of the team felt that they were robbed. Neither Cruz Azul nor Pumas played well, and the result looked to have been moving towards a tie before the call. Pumas will now travel to face struggling Juarez, while Cruz Azul will stay in the city to host improving Monterrey on Saturday.
