Navas keeps Pumas level, overcrowding mars final first leg

Navas keeps the dream alive

Your team is 90 minutes from the title. Pumas held Cruz Azul to a 0–0 draw in the first leg of the Clausura final at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, and Keylor Navas was the reason you're going home with everything still to play for. The Costa Rican keeper was immense, making decisive saves that kept the clean sheet intact and earned him man-of-the-match recognition (2) (3). You go into Sunday's return leg level, it's all there for the taking.

Overcrowding chaos at the stadium

Fans inside the stadium reported dangerous overcrowding during the final, with more tickets sold than seats available. Social media videos showed packed stairways and blocked exits, raising serious safety concerns for the Pumas supporters who made the trip (1). The atmosphere was electric but the experience was compromised by what appears to be clear overcapacity.
