The UNAM Pumas have felt the bitterness of defeat again in the Clausura 2025, this time against the Pachuca Tuzos, with a result of 2-1 at the Hidalgo Stadium. After this setback, the team's followers have expressed their discontent, demanding the dismissal of coach Gustavo Lema due to the poor results obtained.
On social media, the hashtag #FueraLema became a trend, used by many fans to show their dissatisfaction with the coach's approach, accusing him of lacking a playing identity and presenting defensive flaws. Some of the opinions that circulated included comments like 'Enough with experimenting, we demand Lema's immediate resignation. Pumas deserves a real head coach, not an improvised mercenary' and 'They don't play for anything, they don't even sweat the shirt.'
The streak of unfavorable results has also called into question the greatness of the team, as the UNAM Pumas have gone nearly 14 years without winning a title. Some supporters wonder how long they will still be considered a big team, highlighting the lack of ambition and the complacency they perceive in the institution.
After the defeat against Pachuca, Pumas dropped to ninth place in the standings with 11 points, increasing the pressure on the coaching staff and players. The next challenge for the university team will be to face America at Ciudad Universitaria, a match that looms as a decisive test for the immediate future of the team and could keep the fans' displeasure alive if they do not achieve a positive result.
