Three Takeaways From Pumas UNAM vs Atlético San Luis
1. Salles-Lamonge was ice cold from twelve yards
Two penalties, two conversions, one in each half, both at decisive moments. The French midfielder’s brace was the difference in a match that featured three spot kicks, and his composure under pressure gave San Luis a lead they would never surrender.
2. Pumas paid for defensive lapses in their own box
Two fouls inside the area, in the 20th and 76th minutes, handed Atlético San Luis the platform for the win. Pumas twice fought back to within a single goal and dominated possession and corners, but they never led and were punished every time they switched off defensively.
3. San Luis are finding form at the right time
Back-to-back wins over Necaxa and Pumas, the club’s first consecutive victories of the Apertura, have lifted Atlético San Luis from 16th to 13th. Level on 12 points with Pumas heading into the FIFA break, Diego Mejía’s side have momentum and a manageable path to climb toward the top eight.
What the Result Means
Pumas UNAM stay 12th on 12 points and are now winless in three matches, following the defeat at Chivas and the draw with Atlas. With only the top eight advancing directly to the Liguilla and no Play-In this season, Esteban Solari’s side sit two points behind eighth-placed Tijuana, with two Sunday night matches still to come that could shift the middle of the table. The FIFA break arrives at a useful moment for a squad that has struggled to turn home dominance into points.
For Atlético San Luis, the win is worth far more than three points. Climbing three places to 13th and drawing level with Pumas and Pachuca on 12 points, the visitors have transformed their outlook in the space of a week. Six points from their last two matches have put them firmly in the conversation for a Liguilla place.
What Comes Next
After the FIFA break, Pumas UNAM host Cruz Azul on Sunday, October 11 at 7:00 PM Mexico City time at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Jornada 11. Atlético San Luis are also at home that day, receiving Santos Laguna in Jornada 11. Follow the rest of the Apertura with FutnSoccer’s Liga MX viewing hub.
