- Ignacio Ambriz publicly backed Efraín Juárez, saying coaches are always judged for their demeanor and telling him, “don’t change.”
- Ambriz likened Juárez’s temperament to outspoken figures such as Miguel Herrera and Javier Aguirre, stressing that differing styles are part of the job.
- Boos and protest chants from home supporters underscored rising impatience, and Juárez did not approach the Pebetero section after the match as he exited with assistant Luis Pérez.
- Pumas’ discipline remains under scrutiny after 50 yellows and seven reds last season and nine yellows plus one expulsion through three rounds, which Juárez said the team must address.
