Huerta Recreates Pumas Goal Against Cruz Azul at CU

Pumas forward César Chino Huerta scored against Cruz Azul at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in the Apertura 2026 Jornada 11 match, recreating a similar attacking move from his previous goal against the same opponent after returning from Anderlecht.

According to Record, Huerta found the net for Pumas with a play that resembled his Apertura 2023 strike against Cruz Azul before his move to Belgian soccer. The goal marked his return to scoring with the university club.

The two goals shared several elements, as Huerta carried the ball, cut inside, and fired a right-footed shot toward the near post that surprised the opposing goalkeeper. Record reported that the finishes were not identical but had notable similarities.

Huerta's performance later changed when he was sent off after receiving two yellow cards during the match. Record reported that Pumas remained competitive after the dismissal and scored the third goal in a 3-1 result.

The Mexican attacker had previously scored memorable goals against Cruz Azul while playing in Mexico before leaving for Europe. His latest goal came after his return to the Pumas squad following his spell with Anderlecht.
