Pumas never won a final in which they drew at home the first leg

The Pumas will face the Seattle Sounders in the second leg of the Concacaf Champions League final on Wednesday and will be looking for their first title in 11 years. However, the university students let go of the advantage in the first leg and now face a complicated scenario. Historically, on 10 occasions he has drawn in the first leg of a final of different tournaments. However, when the first leg was in Ciudad Universitaria, they have never been able to win in the second leg as visitors to keep the title. In the 1978–79 Liga MX season, they drew goalless at CU against Cruz Azul, but in the second leg they fell 2–0. While in the Copa Sudamericana in 2005, they drew to a goal at home against Boca Juniors, a score that was repeated in the second leg in Argentina. However, the university students lost on penalties. On the other hand, in the Apertura 2007 they met in the final against Atlante and as locals they also drew without goals, while in the second leg they fell 2-1. Finally, the most recent final in which Pumas lost after drawing in the first leg was in the Guardians 2020. In that tournament, already with Andrés Lillini on the bench, the first leg ended with a one-goal draw against León, with goals from Carlos González and Emanuel Gigliotti. However, in the second leg the Fiera won at the Nou Camp with another goal from Gigliotti and one more from Yairo Moreno. We recommend you read For this year’s Concachampions, college students will have to go against the historical trend and look for the triumph at Lumen Field this Wednesday, May 4. The away goal is no longer a tiebreaker factor, so the team that wins the match will be the champion.
