Estadio Hidalgo witnessed an electrifying clash in the first leg of the Clausura 2026 semifinals, where Pachuca took the edge over Pumas with a 1-0 lead on aggregate.
Pachuca’s Tuzos took the initiative during the first half and, after a couple of major warnings, the home side opened the scoring thanks to a goal from Oussama Idrissi.
Although Pumas tried to level the score, this time Efraín Juárez’s squad did not have a movie-like performance and was unable to equalize.

The intensity went beyond the soccer on the field, as the coach of the university side got into a dispute with Solari and pushed him while he was arguing with the referee.
Likewise, Pachuca will head into the second leg shorthanded, as Eduardo dos Santos was shown a red card near the end of the match, while Enner Valencia raised concerns due to injury.
