Rain and smoke put the World Cup final in suspense

Silver for Mexico in mixed teams

The Guadalajara fans did not stop cheering at the Metropolitan Aquatic Center. Mexico responded with a silver medal in the mixed team event of the Mexico Diving Cup.

The national quartet, made up of Aranza Vázquez, Juan Celaya, Alejandra Estudillo and Randal Willars, showed consistency from start to finish. The technical quality and difficulty of their routines kept them in the fight for first place until the last jumps.

The final score was 420.10, enough to secure second place. China took gold with 451.10, and Germany took bronze with 356.15.

The atmosphere in the stands was key. Each execution of the Mexican team was celebrated with tricolor flags. The four divers celebrated together their first medal in the competition.

This result strengthens the team’s confidence ahead of the Central American and Caribbean Games and other international competitions.

Starting duel in Ciudad Universitaria

The UNAM Pumas and the Pachuca Tuzos open the 2026 Apertura Tournament with new helmsmen. Esteban Solari, who led Pachuca to runners-up, now directs the university students. In front, Benjamín Mora takes the reins of the Tuzos.

The match will be played this Saturday the 18th at 5:00 p.m. at the Olympic Stadium in Ciudad Universitaria. The transmission is carried out by TUDN, Vix and Channel 5.

Solari knows several Pachuca players well, which could give him a tactical advantage. Pumas seeks to leave behind the defeat in the final of the previous tournament and regain prominence in the Liguilla.

Pachuca, for its part, trusts in the youth team and Mora’s experience to build a winning cycle. The Mexican coach has had previous steps in local soccer without conclusive results, but the club usually gives continuity to its coaches.

Both teams arrive with renewed squads and with the uncertainty inherent to the start. A close match is expected, although the competitive pace is still being refined.
