Two weeks ago I finally visited UNAM's stadium for the Pumas v. Tigres game. It wasn't the most exciting game, but Pumas scored 2 goals in the last 2 minutes to win the game 2-0.

The Pumas' win against América last week qualified them for the tournament. This past week was the quarterfinals and, since Pumas came in as #8, they played against the #1 team Cruz Azul. They played at the Estadio Olímpico (Pumas' home stadium) on Wednesday and lost 2-1. However, they played at Cruz Azul's stadium on Saturday and won 2-0, knocking Cruz Azul out of the tournament!
Vamos Pumas!

A few short videos from the game Sunday!
Let's go Pumas!
"Goya....."
Sunday I went to the Pumas v. América fútbol (soccer) game. Pumas are the UNAM team and they were playing at América's home stadium -- Estadio Azteca, which is the largest stadium in Latin America and the fifth largest stadium in the world. América hadn't lost a game yet this season in their stadium -- until Pumas beat them 1-0 on Sunday!
It was definitely an experience -- and much more intense than the last game I went to (Cruz Azul v. Monterrey). The Pumas' porra or barra (I don't really have a better translation then group of intense fans) didn't stop cheering and chanting the entire game! Smoke bombs and "raining" beer and empty cups were all part of the experience. We were in a different section then the porra/barra -- but sat right below them, separated by a fence (which a lot of the fans climbed and stood/sat on top of).

And to make the win even sweeter, I was treated to a homemade breakfast this morning by an América fan friend since the Pumas won.

I got tickets today to the Pumas vs. America fútbol (soccer) game on Sunday! It'll be my first time seeing the Pumas (UNAM's team) play and it's a clásico -- one of the big rivalries.
