Pedro Caixinha's Bravos Lose to Puebla in Apertura Opener

In the season‑opening match of Liga MX Apertura 2026, Bravos de Juárez under Pedro Caixinha could not turn a numerical lead into a win. Puebla's Argentine forward Ignacio Maestro Puch scored the decisive goal, giving the visitors three points.

Bravos' attacks were sporadic, midfield gaps appeared, and defensive lapses proved costly. Caixinha's late substitution at the 64th minute failed to change the outcome.
