Pumas and Toluca no harm was done in the Cup for Mexico and the auriazules lost the last opportunity to qualify for the semifinals of the tournament, because with the goalless draw they gave the possibility to America to be in the next phase.
On a dark and rainy night, the 22 of the field did not give away soccer prints or emotions. The game was blocked and with many complaints to the referee for the constant fouls, which were secondary due to the wetness of the grass.
The first claim was for an alleged criminal in favor of the university students. Players protested a sweep of Gastón Sauro in the area about Jonathan Suarez; however, the central defender did not grant the marking.
It was on the left wing that Pumas He insisted more in the first half. Suarez, recently arrived from Querétaro, was more incisive in front, skilled, and who dared to attack, but without centers or shots on goal, the marker remained static.
The game was confronted by a row between Favio Alvarez and Javier Güémez, because they were involved in a war of words and the shoves began, so the referee admonished them to calm them down and with the yellow card the opportunity to move away Pumas to classify.
For the plugin, Luis Fernando Quintana was the first change of Pumas after I was stomped by Enrique Triverio, same as the referee did not consider a card, but that clearly damaged the ankle of the defender auriazul.
Also entered Juan Ignacio Dinenno by those at home, while Toluca changed eight players, because José Manuel de la Torre wanted to see all possible options. Despite being preseason and without being in the rhythm of competition, both teams offered few plays to attack. With jobs, Alfredo Talavera once thrown into his area to cut a center.
Meanwhile, the most dangerous of Pumas It was an auction of Juan Pablo Vigón, but Alfredo Saldívar, who two weeks ago was still dressed as blue auria, cut the header well in two stages, because Dinenno the rebound of the ‘Chicken’ was savored in the small area.
In the end, time ran out in the middle of a game that had no emotions, had no rhythm, and no scoring chances. In the case of Pumas, the auriazules gave America the pass to the semifinal of the Cup for Mexico, while Toluca he remained asleep, as in the last semester.
