Los Pumas of UNAM will debut in the Concacaf Champions Cup visiting Cavalry of Canada on Thursday, February 6 at Starlight Stadium. The last match for the Pumas was on November 9, when they defeated Forge 2-1 in the final of the local championship, securing a place in Concachampions. Meanwhile, Cavalry has not yet played in 2025, as the Canadian Premier League has not started yet.
For this match, coach Gustavo Lema is expected to give minutes to Álex Padilla, who has joined the team to compete for the starting position with Pablo Lara, following the departures of goalkeepers Julio González and Gil Alcalá.
The match will take place at 21:00 hours, Central Time of Mexico, with live coverage through the Tubi App. The Pumas arrive motivated for this match after defeating Atlético San Luis 3-2 in their last league encounter, which allowed them to qualify among the top eight in the standings. Now they will seek to obtain a victory on Canadian soil to gain an advantage in the knockout stage.
