Pumas' coach, Efraín Juárez, is optimistic about their forthcoming match against Atlanta United, expressing hope for a Leagues Cup victory.
Tomorrow night, the Inter&Co Stadium will host a thrilling encounter as Pumas take on Atlanta United in the Leagues Cup 2025 tournament. Efrain Juarez, the University of Mexico's head coach, is confident that his team can cause "a lot of damage" to Atlanta United.
The Pumas have shown resilience in their previous game against Orlando City, managing to salvage a draw (1-1) and an extra point in a penalty shootout (4-3). Juarez believes the match against Atlanta United will be decided in the details.
Juarez is aware they'll be playing against a quality opponent in Atlanta United. However, he feels quite calm about the match because the team understands his football ideas. He has announced that he will field his best available lineup for the game.
The coach's primary focus is on the Leagues Cup 2025 tournament. A win against Atlanta United could put Pumas in a good position to advance in the competition. However, they need a win in regular time to keep their hope of advancing to the quarter-finals alive.
In a historical context, the Leagues Cup has seen some significant results. The most significant loss by an MLS team against a Liga MX team, as of 2025, is the Seattle Sounders' 7-0 thrashing of Cruz Azul in the 2025 Leagues Cup. This match represents the largest blowout victory ever recorded by an MLS team over a Liga MX club.
Before this, Cruz Azul had also experienced a severe 7-0 defeat, but against another Liga MX rival, Club América, three years earlier. However, in terms of MLS vs. Liga MX competition, the 7-0 loss to Seattle Sounders stands out as unprecedented in margin.
As the Pumas and Atlanta United prepare for their clash, fans can expect a tightly contested match between two evenly matched teams. With Juarez's confidence and the team's determination, Pumas are ready to make their mark in the Leagues Cup 2025.
