Mexico City.- Pumas showed the claws to get a valuable 3-1 victory over San Luis, and with it they reached 14 points that put them very close to the Repechage, in the debut of the coach, Antonio Mohamed.
The auriazul team was seen with a different attitude, running and wearing down the rival, winning the contract for the following season.
Mohamed’s first line-up, who was greeted with applause, showed several changes in the formation. He started Carlos Gutiérrez and Ulises Dávila, the injured Adrián Aldrete returned, José Caicedo in contention and Arturo Ortiz also left behind a muscular problem to cover the central defender next to Nicolás Freire.
The cats were barely getting settled on the field when Jhon Eduard Murillo scored a dressing goal at minute 1, took the mark from the left side and made it 1-0.
The reaction of the home team was fierce and the tie reached 4′, with a header from Ulises Rivas who took advantage of a service from Carlos Gutiérrez.
Pumas was better in the following minutes, took possession of the ball and the drops on the wings made the rojiblancos suffer.
In a kidney play, César Huerta took the defensive line, fought and hid the ball to score at 31′, making it 2-1.
Even goalkeeper Julio González changed the boos for applause, because in the second half, he brought out his feline reflexes to intervene four times to prevent his frame from being perforated.
San Luis bombarded the goal and González responded in a big way.
In the final stretch of the match, Mohamed made four changes to refresh the team and manage the match.
The youngsters responded to the coach’s confidence and Jorge Ruvalcaba made it 3-0 in stoppage time, at minute 94′.
The youth squad player took advantage of the mistake made by the Atlético de San Luis goalkeeper, Eduardo Sánchez, to pierce his goal.
Next Sunday Pumas will face Toluca on this stage, and the duel ended with the “olé, olé, olé, Turco, Turco”.
