The final analysis of the match against America was positive for Francisco Palencia, Pumas coach. Despite the defeat (2-1) at the Azteca stadium, the coach was satisfied with the attitude of his team, as well as the way they insisted even in the final minutes of the game. Paco also emphasized that Las Águilas knew how to take advantage of defensive lapses.

"We made specific mistakes. America took advantage of our mistakes, but my team proposed, came to press; my players gave everything, they held nothing back. We tried to finish the plays, but that's football. We tried in every possible way. There are no fair or unfair results. America scored the goals and took a deserved victory. I take away that my team knows how to play; there was no reward on the scoreboard, but I emphasize the way we approached the match. We played quite well," he said.

According to Palencia's version, his team maintained the historical mystique of the institution, prioritizing grit and determination at all times. Paco considered that his proposal was aggressive, not waiting for the opponent: "My team leaves me satisfied. We are a daring, brave team, that's how Pumas is. We don't wait for the rival."

Regarding the return of Gerardo Alcoba, who reappeared after three months away from the field due to a muscle injury that worsened over the weeks, Palencia pointed out that "Gerardo had a great game, despite the three months of inactivity, you couldn't tell he had dropped his level. It doesn't surprise me, he is a professional in every sense of the word."
