The grand premiere of a Turkish-inspired approach arrived on the field as the university team seized control of the match at the University Olympic Stadium. Pumas overturned an early setback and finished the afternoon with a convincing 3-1 win against San Luis, a result that adds pressure to the visitors and injects momentum into the home side.
San Luis struck first when Murillo found the back of the net, putting the Auriazules on their heels. Yet the response from Pumas was swift and calculated. Rivas drew the score level, followed by effective contributions from teammates as the home side began to carve out more chances. As play continued, Ruvalcaba and a timely substitution made an impact, with Julie Gonzalez stepping in for an injured Sosa and delivering crucial moments between the posts to preserve the balance of play and maintain the renewed vigor of the Pumas attack.
Despite the early setback, Pumas rose to the occasion. The atmosphere at the stadium reflected the home crowd’s belief that the team could turn the tide, and the execution in the final third showed a team increasingly confident in its system. The win keeps Pumas close to the upper tier of the table and narrows the gap to the teams occupying the chase pack, creating a scenario where the upcoming fixtures will be pivotal in shaping the near-term prospects.
