Pumas UNAM vs Cruz Azul
Match Report
Pumas UNAM produced a remarkable second-half comeback to draw 2-2 with league leaders Cruz Azul, fighting back from two goals down with ten men at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
Nicolás Ibáñez headed Cruz Azul in front from a set piece on 35 minutes before Charly Rodríguez fired in a powerful second seven minutes later. The visitors looked comfortable at the break, but Juninho converted a controversial penalty on the hour after Guillermo Martínez was fouled in the box.
Nathan Silva's red card in the 68th minute appeared to end Pumas' hopes, yet a Willer Ditta own goal in the 77th completed an extraordinary turnaround. Keylor Navas then produced a stunning late save to deny Cruz Azul a winner.
The draw keeps Cruz Azul top of the Clausura 2026 on 26 points, while Pumas sit fifth with 20. Two points dropped will sting the leaders — but Pumas leave feeling like victors after a spirited fightback.
