All or nothing in CU
The situation is clear and the pressure is enormous. This Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium, the Pumas are not playing a game, they are playing their season. A mistake would be serious.
They are 90 minutes away from an elimination that would hurt a lot. And not against any rival, but against San Diego FC, a team that was just born last year. That adds even more drama to the matter.
The university team took a scandalous win (4-1) that now forces them to win by a difference of three goals or more.
That score in the first game changed everything. They went from winning to suffering a beating that left them on the ropes. Now the math is simple, but very complicated: win by three or more.
The key is in the back
To achieve this, the defense must be a wall. Keeping a clean sheet is not an option, it is an absolute obligation. Only then that visiting goal they scored in the United States is of any use.
The environment around the equipment is hot. An early exit in this Champions Cup would calm the waters… or stir them up more. Efraín Juárez and his boys carry the burden of avoiding another international setback.
It’s time to show character. To show that that auriazul shirt weighs. The stadium will be full, the fans demanding and the rival, with the advantage in tow. There is no margin. It’s a comeback or it will be remembered as another mistake.
