In a highly anticipated clash in Liga MX’s Jornada 10, Guadalajara (Chivas) defeated Pumas UNAM 2-1 at Estadio Akron on March 2, 2025. This match not only showcased the league’s competitive spirit but also took place under a cloud of uncertainty regarding Pumas’ coaching situation. Coach Óscar García faces imminent dismissal, according to team sources, following a string of poor results, raising questions about his future as the head coach of the club. Guadalupe López opened the scoring for Guadalajara in the 22nd minute, with Carlos Cisneros adding the second goal just before halftime. Despite Pumas’ attempt to fight back in the second half, scoring a goal through Juan Manuel Iturbe, their efforts fell short. Pumas now sits precariously close to the relegation zone, raising urgency within the organization for a swift change after losing a third consecutive match. Fans showed their discontent toward the current management, demanding improvement in team performance and results. Óscar García, who has been in charge of Pumas since 2023, holds a tense relationship with the fans, and today’s loss has intensified calls for his removal. Although Guadalajara fans celebrated their team’s victory, the ongoing turbulence at Pumas leaves the club searching for solutions to revive their season.
