The Matchup
Puebla beat Necaxa 0-1 at Estadio Victoria, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 56% in favour of Necaxa, Puebla made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 9 attempts from Necaxa against 12 from Puebla over the course of the game. Necaxa 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.
