Monterrey- Pumas confirmed a new failure by being eliminated from the Clausura 2023 with a 4-1 win against Rayados.
It took 27 minutes for the auriazules to say goodbye to their aspirations to qualify for the Repechage, because in that period they were overwhelmed by a royal attack that came out more forceful than ever.
Alfonso González scored the first shot just after minute 2, between childish errors and zero intensity in the mark by the Auriazul defense.
Then came the show by Rogelio Funes Mori, who achieved a hat-trick in a matter of 10 minutes (17′, 22′, 27′) to end the CU hopes.
Two shots inside the area and a well-collected maximum penalty gave the Argentine striker his third goal at the BBVA Stadium.
Shortly before the end of the first half, Gustavo del Prete put the discount for the university students, but the solitary score was completely insufficient given the few offensive generation that those led by Antonio Mohamed had in the second half of the match.
And, while the UNAM squad was thrashed in Monterrey, Atlético de San Luis did fulfill its task by drawing against Atlas and, in this way, confirming its pass to reclassification.
Losing by a landslide was the only thing that Pumas could not do in this last round, and by doing so, they sealed their farewell to the tournament, falling to 14th position with only 18 points and without a ticket for the next play-off.
