Juan Dinneno is Responsible for a Large Percentage of Pumas' Goals in the Liga MX, Highlighting the Dependency on the Argentine
MEXICO -- Juan Ignacio Dinenno arrived at Pumas and immediately changed the team's course. The Argentine forward is responsible for 61.11% of the points for the auriazules when his goals are added to the scoreboard and directly impact the team's result.
Since arriving in the Liga MX for Clausura 2020, Dinenno has scored nine goals and has become one of the most effective scorers, not only for Pumas, but in Mexican soccer overall.
His goal-scoring journey began against Atlético de San Luis in Matchday 5 of Clausura 2020. However, although he scored in the 4-0 victory for the Miguel González 'Míchel'-managed team, his goal did not directly contribute to earning points for the felinos.
The tide changed in Matchday 6. The South American forward experienced his first start with Pumas when they faced Toluca at Estadio Nemesio Diez. His brace helped the team comeback from a deficit and secure all three points.
In this tournament, Juan Ignacio Dinenno has scored in three out of the four matches played, with all of his goals earning points for the team and momentarily placing Pumas in second place in the league table, only behind Tigres.
In Matchday 1 against Querétaro, the Argentine striker scored a brace that gave Pumas a 3-2 advantage. Then, against Atlas, his two goals secured a victory at Estadio Jalisco. He did not score against Juárez on Matchday 3, but he scored the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Monterrey in Matchday 4.
