They avoided going with a looser marker
While they couldn’t avoid scoring Furch, the auriazules avoided a looser score against an opponent who did not speculate on going to attack and did not bet on their position in the table.
The Argentinian Nicolas Freire and Arturo Ortiz suffered with the mark of the South American, as well as the Colombian Julian Quinones, but they were up to the task to prevent them from scoring more goals.
Thanks to the good defensive work, Alfredo Talavera He did not have to push himself further and the team remains alive for the return.
Do not despair despite defeat
If something should be applauded to the Argentine’s pupils Andres Lillini is that they never despaired despite not finding the target, not even when they were already down on the board.
Pumas he did not make reckless tackles or get into trouble, except for that criminal who sought to pretend Sebastian Saucedo and the yellow one he received Juan Dinenno, which is beneficial for the return match.
Thanks to this, the auriazules can take a sigh and have their entire squad to search for the feat in the Jalisco Stadium to see if they can remember the fighting spirit that led them to the semi-finals.
They forgot to be the quarterfinal version
After the great demonstration that the felines gave in the quarterfinals against America, many put them as favorites waiting for them to make a great match, however, they lacked the motivation shown last week.
Incredibly, despite playing on their own court, it seemed that Universidad Nacional came out to speculate and wait to see if the Rojinegros could really hurt them, which in the end paid dearly by going with the scoreboard against.
There is no doubt that they lacked the claw and heart that they put against the Eagles and Toluca.
The figures in the rooms did not appear
Alan Mozo was commissioned to excel in the series of Classic Capitalino With his triplet of assists, however, in this game he could do little, since he had a lot of work in the defensive tasks to join the attack.
Another of those who was not on his best night was the Ecuadorian Washington Corozo, who had few balls to be able to damage the three posts guarded by the Colombian Camilo Vargas.
In addition to this, the clearest was the Brazilian Higor Meritao almost at the end, when inside the area he released his shot, but the goalkeeper managed to stop with his hand, avoiding the equalizer.
They did not take advantage of the set piece
While there were not a large number of infractions for free kicks to exist, at corner kicks the Pumas They did not take advantage either, since their centers were not precise in the face of a well-organized defense.
By having great headers like the Argentine Juan Dinenno or Freire, as well as The PalermoThey did not make the best decision, since most of them went to no man’s land, and when they found a receiver, the shot was wild and aimless.
When the rival defense is in shape, the best way to hurt and surprise is through set pieces, but in this case it was not like that.
