Puebla left Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez with all three points after a 0-1 win over FC Juárez on Saturday, 18 July 2026, in a game where the hosts had plenty of the ball but not much to show for it. Juárez dominated possession, controlling roughly two-thirds of the play, yet Puebla were the sharper side in front of goal, going in 0-1 up at the break and never really looking troubled after that. Thirteen shots apiece tells you the game was fairly even in terms of chances created, but Puebla made theirs count, putting five on target compared to just one from Juárez. Javier Aquino was named Man of the Match despite finishing on the losing side, picking up a 7.3 rating for his efforts in a Juárez shirt that promised more than it delivered going forward. The corner count, seven to five in Puebla's favour, hints at how much of the pressure came in the second half, but the home side simply couldn't find a way through. For Juárez, it's a frustrating result given the amount of ball they had; for Puebla, a gritty, efficient away win to build on.
The Matchup
FC Juárez 0-1 Puebla was the final score at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, in a game where Puebla did enough across the ninety minutes to deserve the three points.

The shot count told a similar story, with 13 attempts from FC Juárez against 13 from Puebla over the course of the game.
