Monterrey defeated Pumas by a 2-0 score in the final Play In Match and grabbed the final ticket to the Liguilla. In another Play In match that failed to live up to expectations, Monterrey was able to handle a struggling Pumas and get a victory although with a level of play that is still worrisome. Monterrey will now play against Toluca in the Liguilla while Pumas has to prepare themselves for the Apertura 2025 season after a terrible 2025 Clausura tournament.
The 1st half started with Pumas missing out on Guillermo Martinez (suspension) and Lisandro Magallan (injury). Monterrey had the return of Oliver Torres and Sergio Canales from injury although both were on the bench while Sergio Ramos was still out injured.
