León and Pachuca Share the Spoils in a Thrilling Liga MX Clash
Yesterday, at the iconic Estadio Nou Camp, fans witnessed an intense showdown as León faced Pachuca in Jornada 6 of the Liga MX Apertura 2025. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving supporters on both sides buzzing with excitement and a little frustration.
The game began with Pachuca taking control early on. The visitors, led by Oussama Idrissi, quickly imposed their rhythm on the pitch. A controversial penalty was awarded to Pachuca after a VAR review confirmed a foul by León’s Steven Barreiro inside the area. Idrissi stepped up confidently and converted it, giving Pachuca an early 1-0 lead in the 13th minute. From that moment, León found themselves chasing the game, trying to regain composure and fight back.
León, managed by Eduardo Berizzo, had been coming off a win against Necaxa and were looking to climb into the top 10 of the table. However, the first half was dominated by Pachuca, who had been recently eliminated from the Leagues Cup but continued their strong league form under Jimmy Lozano. The visitors controlled possession and created several threatening chances, keeping León’s defense on high alert.

The turning point came early in the second half. Another penalty was awarded, this time to León, after Brian García committed a foul inside the box. Ismael Díaz calmly converted the spot-kick, leveling the score at 1-1 and sending the home crowd into jubilation. Despite this breakthrough, Pachuca remained the more dangerous team throughout most of the game, constantly testing León’s goalkeeper and defense.
León’s big story, however, was the return of James Rodríguez. The Colombian midfielder had been sidelined due to a muscular injury, missing previous matches against Monterrey and Necaxa. He entered the field in the 62nd minute for Ismael Díaz, bringing creativity, vision, and movement to León’s attack. While James sparked several promising plays and created opportunities, the team struggled to convert them into goals, leaving the match evenly poised by the final whistle.
With this draw, León sits ninth in the Liga MX standings with seven points, while Pachuca maintains their lead at 13 points. The rivalry between these two sides remains heated; in their last encounter, León had won 2-1, yet Pachuca had been unbeaten in their previous two away matches.
Looking ahead, León will host Querétaro in the next round on Saturday, August 30, aiming to secure a crucial win and continue their climb up the table. Pachuca, meanwhile, will look to extend their lead and maintain momentum in the title race. This match showed the balance of power in Liga MX—teams can dominate at times, but results are never guaranteed, making every game thrilling for fans.
