The 1-1 draw flattered Pumas, with Atlas producing a performance that merited more based on the balance of play. Despite holding 54% possession and creating 20 total shots (17 inside the box) to Pumas' 10, Atlas could only match their opponents' xG output. Louz Esteves' 45+6' equaliser cancelled out Ángel Azuaje's 23rd-minute opener, but Atlas' 10 shots off goal highlighted their profligacy.

Atlas' territorial dominance is evident in their 8 corners to Pumas' 6, while their 4 shots on target forced 3 saves from Pumas' keeper. The visitors' red card to Adalberto Carrasquilla in the 87th minute came too late to influence the outcome. Pumas were clinical with their limited chances, converting 1 of 3 shots on target, but their 46% possession and just 7 shots inside the box showed a team largely outplayed.

The key stat: Atlas' 17 shots inside the box generated just 1 goal, a conversion rate of 5.9% that undid their otherwise commanding performance.
