**Thecuy.com, Toluca -** The Toluca manager, Antonio ‘Turco’ Mohamed, admitted his side had underestimated UNAM Pumas when hosting them at the Nemesio Diez Stadium in the second round of Liga MX Apertura 2026. The confession came after Toluca, who had taken an early lead, suffered a 2‑1 defeat to the visitors.
In the post‑match press conference, Mohamed bluntly said his team lost concentration after taking an early lead. “We thought the game was over, we eased off the intensity, and when facing a side like Pumas, mistakes like that are punished heavily,” the Argentine coach declared.
This loss marked Toluca’s first setback of the season following a previous victory over Guadalajara. For Pumas, it was a first win after a 3‑0 defeat by Pachuca in the opener.

Toluca took the lead in the 14th minute when Jorge Diaz finished a precise Helinho pass. The advantage, however, caused the home side to let their guard down. Pumas responded after the break, with Victor Arteaga netting in the 57th minute and Sebastian Cordova converting a header from a Rodrigo Lopez delivery in the 64th. Navas, Pumas’ keeper, delivered a man‑of‑the‑match performance, making key saves to seal the victory.
Mohamed expressed regret that his team had stopped pressing the opposition, lost initiative and exposed a fragile defence. “It is a harsh lesson, but a valuable one. In football nobody hands you anything – we must never count the game out before the final whistle,” he insisted.
The defeat stands as a stark wake‑up call for Toluca ahead of their next crucial fixture. Meanwhile, Pumas have halted a poor run and are now showing a resurgence.
