Pumas played their worst game of the season, and helped by a terrible play by Dario Veron, that saw him sent off, gave Veracruz three key points in a 2-0 defeat at home. This is the third straight home defeat for the Universitarios in what has been a terrible spiral of play for Pumas.
The first half was a total disaster for the hosts. Pumas lacked intensity, and despite having possession of the ball did very little. The game, though, looked under control until Veron's incredibly reckless challenge got him sent off with plenty still to play in the first half.
