Pumas hand debuts to young academy talents against Santos | OneFootball

Pumas had a bitter debut in the Apertura 2025, falling 3-0 to Santos Laguna at the Estadio Corona.

Despite the defeat, the team showed spirit and bet on the debut of young prospects.

Costly mistakes took their toll on Efraín Juárez’s squad, which still does not have a complete roster.

The management continues searching for reinforcements while the coach gives opportunities to new talents.

Rodrigo Parra, Emiliano Villaseñor, and Misael Torres made their first division debuts, with Parra starting between the posts.

The young goalkeeper made a mistake that led to Santos’ second goal.

Parra, who came up through Cruz Azul, became the youngest goalkeeper to debut with Pumas.

Meanwhile, Villaseñor and Torres, both developed at La Cantera, came on in the second half and logged their first official minutes.
