They say there's no deadline, that "Let no promise go unfulfilled, nor debt go unpaid," and for Pumas UNAM, this saying fits like a glove as they defeated Tigres UANL 1-0 at the northern felines' home stadium, ending a winless streak at the "Volcano." A very important victory for the squad managed by the controversial Efrain Juarez, who may not be the perfect coach everyone would want at the helm of Pumas, but the reality is that his style led the university team to a valuable result thanks to a goal from Paraguayan Robert Morales and a great performance from Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas. The last victory for the Pedregal squad at the Estadio Universitario was in the Clausura 2014 tournament when they won 2-1 on matchday 4 with goals from Argentinian Martin Bravo, while for the northern felines, the goal was scored by... now managed by Argentine strategist Guido Pizarro.

Without a doubt, a negative result for Tigres, no matter how you look at it, because despite going all out to try and equalize the deficit created by Paraguayan Robert Morales in the 22nd minute in a triangular passing move generated by Cesar Garza and linked up with Jorge Ruvalcaba, who delivered a perfect pass to Morales, who beat Nahuel Guzman.

A goal that made the night worthwhile for the Mexico City felines, since they not only broke their 12-year winless streak at UANL's home ground, but also ended a nine-game unbeaten run for the squad managed by Pizarro after their last defeat in Matchday 5 of the 2025 Apertura tournament.

The victory allows Pumas to erase the memory of last Sunday's poor performance at home against Queretaro with the 1-1 draw, while Tigres' winning streak, which began last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Atletico San Luis in Tuneros, was halted. The match: There was very little to see in the first half. Tigres lacked offensive firepower, but above all, greater inventiveness in the final third, to the point that their most notable moment was the goal by Paraguayan Robert Morales in the 22nd minute, which put them ahead 1-0,a lead they would never relinquish. Even so, UANL had a chance to equalize in the 37th minute when Juan Brunetta positioned himself in the box and, with great technique, brought the ball down in his own area and, without hesitation, unleashed a shot with a lot of spin that Keylor Navas managed to stop with a great dive. For the second half, the UANL coach went all out with the introduction of Angel Correa, Diego Lainez, Andre-Pierre Gignac, and Diego Sanchez, who gave Tigres' attack a lot of dynamism, but they were unable to break down the dam that is Keylor Navas, who effectively robbed them of the victory with great saves that ruined Tigres' offensive efforts.
