Liga MX started on Friday with Pumas getting a 2-0 victory away at Veracruz. Chilean Felipe Mora scored the first Liga MX goal with a header off a corner kick. Later, Pablo Barrera scored the first goal for a Mexican player from the penalty spot just before halftime. The penalty came from a Carlos Gonzalez opportunity where he was dropped. The win is a great start for Pumas and some conclusions can be taken from the game.
- Individually Pumas won’t replace Nico Castillo but collectively it can. Pumas lost their best player in Nico Castillo, who went to Benfica.
