Nobody came all that close to breaking the deadlock in Sunday's scoreless draw between Pumas and Club America, but Pumas' best chances came from left winger Jesus Gallardo.
Pumas still sit atop the table after three weeks, and while forward Nicolas Castillo has been the headline act with four goals, Gallardo has been an important member of the supporting cast. In 85 minutes Sunday, Gallardo had two shots and found Castillo with two of his three crosses. On several occasions Gallardo was able to skip past another Mexico national team hopeful in America right back Edson Alvarez.
The 23-year-old's continued emergence is good news for the Mexico national team in many respects.
