Pumas coach Esteban Solari red‑carded after debut loss to Pachuca

In his first match in charge, Esteban Solari saw Pumas fall 2‑0 to Pachuca and was sent off after a heated exchange with former player Salomón Rondón. The referee issued a straight red, preventing Solari from attending the post‑match press conference.

Assistant coach Emerson Panigutti spoke on behalf of the staff, describing the defeat as a necessary learning step for the new era.
