What They're Saying
Pachuca manager Enrique Meza (via Vavel): "I'm left with a bad taste of not being able to obtain a victory [against Puebla], but the teams facing relegation play with everything. Additionally, Puebla have been playing better."
"Two matches remain," he added. "Everything is in the air and the competition is very intense. To be honest, I'm worried. The ideal thing would be to keep myself occupied, not worry. I have a team that can influence, that can drive itself and can be convinced that the sacrifice is worth it."
