León Faces Puebla in Crucial Match on November 8
San Pablo, Brazil — León will play against Puebla on Saturday, November 8, at Estadio León. The match, part of the Apertura tournament’s 17th round, is scheduled to start at 8 PM local time and will be broadcast live on WIN.
León, led by Colombian players, finds itself in a challenging position. The team has been struggling, sitting second to last in the standings with just 13 points. They haven’t won in two months, recording four losses and one draw in their last five matches.
Puebla is currently at the bottom of the table with only nine points, having a weak defense that has allowed 41 goals in 16 games. They are coming off a 3-0 loss at home against league leaders Cruz Azul.
León’s head coach, Ignacio Ambriz, expressed the need for better performance from his squad. “We should have taken advantage of our talent better,” he said. “The players are missed, not just on the field but by the fans as well.” He emphasized the connection between the players and supporters, acknowledging that the team’s recent results have been disappointing.
This match could potentially be the last home appearance for some players in León’s colors. León has won three, drawn four, and lost nine matches this semester, scoring 13 goals while conceding 29. Puebla, on the other hand, is looking to turn around its fortunes after a difficult season.
The upcoming clash between León and Puebla promises to be significant for both teams as they seek points to avoid relegation.
