After 16 matches and almost a year to the date, Pumas got an away victory by defeating Mazatlan by a 2-1 score. Pumas got their first away win since April 2022 in a match where they were the better side but should have done better, as they almost wound up tied in the last minute. Mazatlan keeps struggling, and will have a tough match at home against Cruz Azul while Pumas returns home to face Puebla.
The first half started with Pumas having the return of Cesar Huerta to the starting 11, as they had to replace suspended Diogo de Olivera.
