Pumas Rally for Draw, Extend Home Woes
29 Aug
Summary
- Pumas secured a 1-1 tie against Necaxa, failing to win at home.
- Luciano Herrera scored a late equalizer for Pumas.
- Pumas face Tijuana next, a venue where they have struggled historically.
Pumas' persistent difficulties at home in the Apertura 2026 season continued as they drew 1-1 with Necaxa on a rainy Sunday night. The match, marred by a poor first half, saw Pumas equalize late in the second half after trailing by a goal.
Necaxa took the lead in the second half through a Julian Carranza header from a corner kick. However, Pumas responded swiftly, with Luciano Herrera scoring a left-footed volley from close range to level the score.
Pumas now prepare for a challenging away fixture against Tijuana, a team against whom they have a poor historical record. This marks another disappointing home performance for Pumas, who have struggled to secure victories in front of their home crowd since the Leagues Cup. Their next challenge involves overcoming their away day struggles at Tijuana.
