Atlas and Pumas UNAM last played eachother at the Estadio Jalisco on Dec 6th. Pumas UNAM took the match by a score of 1 to 0. Juan Dinenno scored the first goal for Pumas UNAM in the 77th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Atlas couldn’t muster any offence and Pumas UNAM ran away with the shutout win.
Rogério has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, hes scored four goals for Pumas UNAM. Ramón Del Castillo and Edgar Zaldivar Valverde are the top scorers for Atlas in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
