The Pumas continue to struggle, extending their winless streak to four official matches after a goalless draw against Querétaro at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario. The team, led by Esteban Solari, has shown more doubts than certainties this season, accumulating two losses and two draws across the Leagues Cup and the Apertura 2026 tournament.
Despite dominating possession and creating more scoring opportunities against Querétaro, the Pumas' lack of finishing power proved costly. This inability to convert chances has become a recurring issue, preventing them from securing their first home victory of the Apertura 2026 season. Their previous home game resulted in a 0-3 loss to Pachuca.
The draw leaves the Pumas in sixth place in the league table with seven points, temporarily holding a spot in the qualification zone. However, their position is precarious, depending on the outcomes of other matches involving Cruz Azul, Necaxa, and Puebla.
Following the disappointing result, social media platforms were flooded with memes mocking the team's performance, reflecting the dissatisfaction of the fanbase. The Pumas now face a crucial home match against Necaxa next week, a direct confrontation in the lower half of the qualification zone, where they desperately need to secure their first win at home.
