Another one! Paulinho decisive again as Toluca claim another win (video) | OneFootball

Toluca extended their excellent run of form by defeating Pumas UNAM 3-2 at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, thus securing their fourth consecutive victory in the Clausura tournament of the Mexican championship. Paulinho, the former Sporting striker, was once again a standout figure and decisive for the Mexican side.

The match was intense and full of twists. The scoring opened in the 29th minute, when Robert Morales converted a penalty to put Pumas ahead. However, before halftime, Toluca responded and equalized through Jesús Angulo, who finished after an assist from Pavel Pérez.

In the second half, the hosts regained the lead in the 63rd minute with a goal from Álvaro Angulo. The team led by Antonio Mohamed, however, refused to give up and equalized again in the 73rd minute, this time through Diego Barbosa.

The final turnaround came in the 78th minute. Jesús Gallardo crossed into the heart of the area and the Portuguese striker Paulinho appeared to head the ball into the back of the net past Keylor Navas, setting the score at 3-2.

After this victory, Toluca now turns their attention to their next match against Juárez, scheduled for the early hours of Monday at the Estadio Nemesio Díez. Meanwhile, Pumas return to action on Saturday, when they visit Necaxa at the Estadio Victoria de Aguascalientes.
