Pumas could not score the necessary goals in the decisive return match against San Diego FC in the Concacaf Champions Cup, ultimately resulting in their elimination from the tournament. Despite managing to win the second leg by a single goal, Pumas fell short on aggregate due to the points lost in the first leg of the series. Their inability to capitalize on offensive opportunities and the mistakes made during the initial match proved too significant to overcome.

The team's efforts, led by head coach Efraín Juárez, revealed challenges in managing both the international competition and the domestic league. Juárez acknowledged prior to the match that the squad was insufficiently equipped to handle the demands of two tournaments simultaneously. With this loss marking their first failure of the year, the squad must now shift their full focus to their local league obligations, hoping to regroup and improve going forward.

Defensively, San Diego FC proved to be a formidable opponent, with goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega emerging as the standout player. His performance staved off Pumas' attempts to equalize, serving as a crucial barrier that the team could not breach. This match starkly highlights the issues Pumas will need to address in their future games as they aim to enhance their on-field performance and avoid similar fates in upcoming competitions.
