Los Pumas they paid dearly to have 5 very bad minutes at the start of the game because that was enough for the Necaxa imposed its conditions throughout the game and although the Rays suffered some lapses in the game they ended up winning 3-1 in Aguascalientes.
Mistakes are a stone for Pumas every time they play, every mistake made ends in a goal once morest and although they continue with a goal and a lot of possession of the ball, the result is adverse.
One more time, Rafael Puente had to move his pieces for the alignment starter in the absence of players like Ulises Rivas and Jesús Molina, but he can’t find a way to balance the team. The DT even ends up making incompressible changes Well, in order to go looking for a goal, it only breaks down the team.
The best example of this were the changes in the 80th minute, when he brought on Alek Álvarez, but decided to move César Huerta as right backjust when he was her best man on the left wing throughout the match.
All in order to find a saving goal that did not come despite the efforts of the players. To top it off, C.Hino Huerta was sent off for a hard tackle on Batallini.
