Overview
- Liga MX’s Disciplinary Commission confirmed Adalberto Carrasquilla’s absence stems from reaching five yellow cards, not from special discipline for the challenge on Kevin Mier.
- Pumas center-back Nathan Silva described the play as a collision and wished the Cruz Azul goalkeeper a swift recovery in comments to Fox Sports.
- Cruz Azul sought further punishment, but current reporting indicates an inhabilitation is not moving forward as the case has been handled under standard protocols.
- Match reports say the incident occurred at 45+6 outside the area, with studs-to-contact that left Mier with a reported fracture and leaving the field on a medical cart.
- Pumas will face Pachuca without Carrasquilla and also without forwards José Juan ‘JJ’ Macías and Memo Martínez, absences teammates acknowledged as significant.
