Pumas let go of the victory against Toluca in the home of the Liga MX champions
Pumas took the lead with a goal from Jorge Ruvalcaba, but were unable to finish off the victory in Toluca
Pumas de la UNAM, the team where Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas now plays, tied 1-1 with champion Toluca, who let go of the chance to take the lead in the Apertura 2025 Tournament.
In the continuation of the fifth day of the championship, Jorge Ruvalcaba scored for the university students and Jesus Angulo rescued the tie for the 'Diablos'.
Toluca came out to propose the match and soon worried Navas with an arrival from the Brazilian Helinho; However, it was Pumas who struck first.
Ruvalcaba accepted an assist from Spaniard Ruben Duarte and put Pumas ahead in the 12th minute, but they were then outplayed by an intense, albeit lacking, opponent.
Toluca tied the game 1-1 in the 68th minute with a left-footed shot from Angulo and, despite dominating the rest of the match, was unable to break their opponents again.
Los Diablos are in fourth place with three wins, one draw, one loss, and 10 points, two less than leader Pachuca, who lost 0-2 to Xolos de Tijuana.
Coached by Uruguayan Sebastian 'Loco' Abreu, the Xolos won with goals from Gilberto Mora and Kevin Castaneda.
Pachuca missed numerous scoring opportunities, which spoiled their perfect run. The defeat left them with four wins, one loss, and 12 points, one more than Cruz Azul and America, the winners of their respective matches.
