Even away from home, three goals at Necaxa and three more at U.N.A.M. - Pumas they found. The statistics sing of dominance: 2.00 goals per game at home, a mere 0.60 conceded. Six clean sheets in ten games, defensive mastery this is.

Against FC Juarez, 1-3 losers they became - the same Juarez that Toluca defeated 3-1. Against Guadalajara Chivas, 1-2 they fell at home, while Toluca conquered Chivas 2-0. The gap in quality, revealed these mirror matches have.
