  • Pachuca beat Juárez 2-0 through goals from Salomón Rondón and Alán Bautista.
  • The result gave Pachuca its second league win after five matches without a victory, while Juárez remained at the bottom after seven straight defeats.
  • Gustavo Lema began his return to Mexican football with a loss and will next lead Juárez against Santos Laguna.

Gustavo Lema’s return to Mexican football began with a defeat, as the Bravos of Juárez fell 0-2 to Pachuca for their seventh consecutive loss in the Apertura 2026.

Salomón Rondón opened the scoring in the 53rd minute. Alán Bautista added a second goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time, sending Pachuca temporarily up to 11th place in the standings.

The Tuzos had gone five matches without a win before securing their second victory of the domestic tournament. Juárez tried to recover an equalizer in the second half but failed to turn its opportunities into goals.

The match’s first half produced little action apart from a 14th-minute collision between Óscar Estupiñán and Sergio Barreto, who finished with blood on his face. Juárez’s lack of finishing allowed Pachuca to extend its lead in the final moments at the Olímpico Benito Juárez stadium.

Juárez will face Santos Laguna at the Corona Stadium in the next round. Pachuca will visit Atlante at Banorte Stadium.
