Just when it looked like the Auriazules had the win in the bag, a breakaway by the Cañoneros confused the Universitarios' defense. 

In that confusion, Arturo "Palermo" Ortiz scored his own goal and, while trying to clear the ball, pushed it into his own goal.

In this way, Pumas UNAM drew in this pending Round 9 match, and remain winless in Liga MX 2022, in which they have not won since Round 5 when they defeated León. 

With this defeat, the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México club's path to the Liguilla becomes extremely complicated, as the win against Mazatlán puts them in 12th place in the general table.

This was the Universitarios' draw against the worst team in Liga MX 2022

Mazatlán was the worst team in Liga MX 2022 until today's match, but with the draw against Pumas UNAM, they managed to move up a step, so Juárez now occupies the last place.

The game was quiet during the first half, but in the second half the Universitarios began to increase the speed of their attacks.

The Cañoneros began to do the same, but the tactic worked first for the Auriazules, which was reflected in the scoreboard in the 73rd minute. 

At that moment, a filtered ball from the middle of the field fell at the feet of Jorge Ruvalcaba, who did not waste a second and when he was in front of the goal, he shot towards the right side of the goal.

The ball went into the goal, but Mazatlán's defense began to claim that the shot had been taken offside, so they expected the goal to be disallowed.

However, this did not happen and the goal was considered valid, making the score 1-0 and making the entire stadium scream with happiness. 

However, the happiness could not last long because in the 80th minute the equalizer was scored, and the worst part was that it was an own goal.

It all started with a corner kick from Mazatlán, which reached the other side of the opponent's goal. At that moment, a cross from a Mazatlan player slipped into the Pumas area.

Arturo "Palermo" Ortiz tried to deflect the cross, but did it poorly and the ball bounced off his leg, resulting in the own goal that sealed the match and robbed the Auriazules of their home win.
