Mazatlan FC Women secured a crucial victory over Pumas UNAM Women with a 2-1 scoreline, marking a closely contested encounter. The match saw early dominance from Mazatlan with their first goal coming in the 17th minute, showcasing their ability to capitalize on early pressure. However, Pumas UNAM quickly responded before halftime, leveling the score with a goal deep in first-half stoppage time, highlighting their resilience and ability to stay focused under pressure.

Mazatlan's second-half strategy proved effective as they regained the lead in the 78th minute, displaying effective transition play that caught Pumas UNAM off guard. Although Mazatlan had fewer corner kicks with 3 compared to Pumas' 8, their efficient conversion from open play made the difference. The ability to maximize scoring chances, even with limited set-piece opportunities, emphasized their clinical finishing.

Discipline played a significant role in the match dynamics, with both teams receiving a red card, and Mazatlan picking up two yellow cards in quick succession during the second half. Despite the numerical balance, Mazatlan's two yellow cards suggested aggressive play, yet it was their well-timed substitutions that helped them manage the game effectively. In contrast, Pumas UNAM, although disciplined with no yellow cards, seemed less cohesive in maintaining their defensive structure late in the game, ultimately impacting their ability to respond to Mazatlan's lead. Mazatlan's calculated offensive strategy and the ability to control the game's tempo, despite equal offsides and disciplinary balance, proved crucial in their narrow win.
