The Costa Rican team, Alajuelense, arrives at this stage of the Concacaf Champions Cup after being crowned champion in the Central American Cup. On the other hand, UNAM Pumas is going through a challenging moment with four consecutive losses that led to the dismissal of Gustavo Lema. Now, Efraín Juárez takes over as the new coach in a match that will be his debut at the helm of the team at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
After losing to Chivas, the Pumas return to action hosting Alajuelense in the first leg of the round of 16. The felines advanced to this round after defeating Cavalry from Canada. Although the Pumas are favorites, they will face an Alajuelense that has not lost this year, with six victories and six draws since last December.
The Costa Rican team, led by a 37-year-old coach, arrives in good form for the match against the Pumas, generating high expectations among the blue and gold fans. This will be the first step in a new stage with Efraín Juárez in charge. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 4, at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario at 7:30 PM, Central Mexico time, and can be followed through the TUBI App. The spectacle and excitement are guaranteed!
