In this high-stakes Play-In clash, Pachuca will debut their new manager, Esteban Solari, who arrives with the challenge of immediately guiding the team in a do-or-die scenario. Pachuca will look to take advantage of their home field, though a coaching change often requires an adjustment period that could play for or against them.

Pumas UNAM, led by Efrain Juarez, enter the game in strong form. They recently routed Tijuana 4–1 and followed that with a dramatic 3–2 win over Cruz Azul, a result that dropped the capital club from first place to third in the standings.

For context on the current Liga MX landscape, the top six teams from the regular season — Toluca, Tigres UANL, Cruz Azul, America, Monterrey and Guadalajara — advanced directly to the quarterfinals. The Play-In determines the final two spots. Tijuana, who finished seventh, will host Juarez, who finished eighth. The winner secures a quarterfinal berth, while the loser faces the winner of Pachuca vs. Pumas for the final ticket.

What happens if Pachuca win vs Pumas UNAM?

If Pachuca win, they will earn the right to play on Sunday for the final available spot in the Liguilla, while the loser will be eliminated. Because this matchup features the ninth- and tenth-place finishers, only the winner advances — unlike the other Play-In bracket, where the loser gets a second chance. The winner here will face the loser of Juarez vs. Tijuana.

What happens if Pachuca and Pumas UNAM tie?

If Pachuca and Pumas finish level after regulation, the Play-In rules call for a penalty shootout to determine who advances. Under Liga MX regulations, Play-In matches do not include extra time, and there is no higher-seed advantage. Any draw goes straight to penalties.

What happens if Pachuca lose vs Pumas UNAM?

If Pachuca lose, they will be automatically eliminated from the Play-In and from any chance of reaching the Liguilla. Pumas, meanwhile, will move on to face the loser of the Juarez vs. Tijuana matchup on Sunday, November 23.

How does the Liga MX Play-In work?

This stage features three games that award the final two spots in the Liguilla. The teams that finished seventh through tenth face off as follows: 7th vs. 8th, and 9th vs. 10th. The winner of the first matchup advances directly to the Liguilla, while the loser gets a second chance against the winner of the second matchup.

Following the red card, the Mexican side looked to capitalize on their numerical advantage and pushed forward in search of an opener. However, Real Madrid’s backline held firm, showcasing a disciplined and organized defensive effort.

Pachuca’s aggressive approach left gaps at the back, and the reigning European champions made them pay. In the 35th minute, Fran Garcia slipped a clever ball through to Jude Bellingham, who buried a low, driven shot into the bottom corner to give Madrid the lead.

Just eight minutes later, Los Blancos doubled their advantage. After a slick team move, young star Arda Guler finished with confidence to send Madrid into halftime up 2–0 — a commanding position considering they were down a man since the opening minutes.

In the second half, Pachuca continued to push forward, desperate to claw their way back into the game. But Madrid never looked out of control. In the 70th minute, Federico Valverde put the result beyond doubt, capping off a swift counterattack with a goal off a pinpoint assist from Brahim Díaz.

Pachuca eventually pulled one back in the 79th minute thanks to a well-placed strike from Elías Montiel, but the goal proved to be nothing more than a consolation. With the win, Madrid took a major step toward securing a spot in the knockout stage of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

A cornerstone of Real Madrid’s lineup, Mbappe’s absence has been keenly felt. The fan base was left concerned when he missed the opening match against Al-Hilal, raising concern ahead of the Matchday 2 clash with Pachuca.

With several key players sidelined by injuries, head coach Xabi Alonso is tasked with fielding a competitive squad. Navigating the balance between emerging talents and seasoned veterans, Alonso’s tenure is being tested. Within this team dynamic, Mbappe remains a pivotal factor.

Mbappe remains sidelined for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup

Kylian Mbappe will not be on the pitch against Pachuca today. A bout of gastrointestinal discomfort, which previously kept him from the Al-Hilal fixture, is keeping the French star on the sidelines, as Alonso already anticipated before the Matchday 2 game. As a result, Real Madrid are set to rely on Vinicius Jr. and Gonzalo to spearhead the attack.

Fans have flooded social media with messages of support for Mbappe. Head coach Alonso reassures that his recovery is progressing, expressing optimism for Mbappe’s return later in the Club World Cup, a development crucial for Real Madrid’s aspirations.

Real Madrid’s lineup to play Pachuca

With Mbappe still out, Alonso is making a surprising change by benching Rodrygo in favor of Gonzalo: Thibaut Courtois; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Raul Asencio, Dean Huijsen, Fran Garcia; Arda Guler, Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham; Vinicius Jr, Gonzalo.
