0-0 Result Caps Tight Liga MX Encounter

Pumas UNAM and Querétaro FC finished level at 0-0 in Liga MX. The match produced no goals despite several shots on target and a combined expected goals total of 1.22. Both sides created limited high-quality openings, leaving the points shared on a night when defensive structure outweighed attacking fluency.

First-Half Flow and Key Moments

The opening period began with an early yellow card for Querétaro’s Paulo Victor in the second minute. Pumas responded with sustained pressure, registering corners and shots from Adalberto Carrasquilla and Robert Morales. Querétaro countered with efforts from Daniel Parra and later Paulo Victor, yet neither side converted. The half featured frequent throw-ins and tackles, with Pumas holding six corners overall while Querétaro managed just one. No goals arrived before the interval, and the pattern of half-chances continued into the second period.

Expected goals finished narrowly in Pumas’ favor at 0.66 to Querétaro’s 0.56. Pumas recorded multiple shots on target, led by Carrasquilla’s two, while Guillermo Martínez added one. Querétaro’s shots on target came from Santiago Homenchenko, Waldo Madrid and Ali Avila. Pumas earned six corners to Querétaro’s single effort, and away side Daniel Parra struck the woodwork once. Yellow cards totaled one for Pumas and three for Querétaro, with both teams committing double-digit fouls. Offsides remained minimal at one apiece, and injury time added five minutes without altering the scoreline.

The second half mirrored the first in its lack of clinical finishing. Both teams traded possession in midfield but failed to create sustained pressure inside the final third. Pumas maintained a slight edge in territory and set-piece opportunities, yet Querétaro’s organized defense restricted clear sights of goal. The match stayed goalless through 90-plus minutes, reflecting the narrow expected goals margin and low conversion rates from both attacks.
