Pachuca left Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez with all three points after a 0-2 win that took a while to get going. The first half was cagey, tight, not much between the two sides, and it stayed goalless at the break. Juárez actually edged the ball a bit more, finishing with 52% possession, but they couldn't turn that into anything dangerous, managing just one shot on target all night from ten attempts. Pachuca were sharper when it mattered, working four of their fourteen shots on frame and making the extra corners count too, three to Juárez's one. Alán Ernesto Bautista Gutiérrez was at the heart of it all, picking up the man of the match award with a 7.7 rating for a display that pushed his side over the line. For Juárez, it's another home game without a win to show for it, and questions will keep piling up if performances like this continue.
The Matchup
Pachuca beat FC Juárez 0-2 at Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 52% in favour of FC Juárez, Pachuca made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 10 attempts from FC Juárez against 14 from Pachuca over the course of the game. FC Juárez had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
