Necaxa vs Pumas UNAM

Pumas UNAM snatched all three points in Aguascalientes with a late 1-0 victory over Necaxa on Matchday 10 of the Liga MX Clausura 2026. Substitute Guillermo Martínez proved the hero, powering home a header in the 83rd minute to settle a tight contest at the Estadio Victoria. Adalberto Carrasquilla delivered the decisive free kick, curling a perfect ball into the box for Martínez — freshly introduced off the bench — to nod past the goalkeeper. Pumas dominated throughout with 20 shots to Necaxa's 11, and Pedro Vite came agonizingly close to a second when his left-footed strike from distance grazed the crossbar. The win lifts Pumas to third in the table with 19 points, ending a near five-year drought without a victory in Aguascalientes. Necaxa, meanwhile, remain stuck in 16th on just nine points as their struggles continue.
