The momentum and dedication that the Pumas of the National University demonstrated in the middle of the week on the court of the University Olympic Stadium, when they came up an adverse score against Montreal, was not enough. The Rays of Necaxa, led by Jaime Lozano, traveled to the capital of the country to take the three units of matchday 11, although they did so with a rout over the team led by Andrés Lillini.
Motivated by the feat in the Concacaf Champions League, the few college fans encouraged their players from the start. Although the statistics looked even for both sides, the locals looked like wide favorites due to their offensive display in the last match. However, Jimmy Lozano's men jumped onto the court with the slogan of getting ahead almost from the initial whistle.
The pressure of the Lightning was noticeable from the very first moments. When Alan Mozo tried to get out for his side, he lost a decisive ball in his defensive zone. Dieter Villalpando complemented the recovery effort and went on the counterattack. His career failed to extend for several meters due to the defensive presence of the players, so he gave up a filtered ball.
Alan Medina ran from the opposing side to the center and surpassed the mark of his rival. Before reaching the boundaries of the large area, he advanced the ball to avoid the bilge of Alfredo Talavera. Although it seemed that his contact was too long, he managed to rescue the ball before the final line and finished with the inside to score the first goal of the match.
