Atlas defeated Puebla in one of the Mexican League Seaon games which ended in controversy. The goal was scored by Alfredo Moreno who celebrated with an euphoria of having won a World Cup.
The score was the result of a first time victory for the team (Atlas) that needed a victory and was already in the bottom of the Mexican League Group Two Group.
Atlas was facing problems during the period of Carlos Ischia who was replaced by Jose Luis Mata. In spite of the change in guard, there were no results of victory.
At one point during the game, the supporters of Atlas were whistling and screaming insults at the players for not doing enough.
While Atlas was struggling with its game, Puebla was also struggling since it is also at the bottom of the league groups.
Nicolas Olivero of Puebla said that the game was «unfair» and that the opposing team just simply played to defend the only goal of Alfredo Moreno to avoid losing face.
He also stated that the referee was also biased in favor of Atlas and that this was not football. Olivero regardless was willing to recognize that Puebla has a long way to go and that it faces the same problems as Atlas.
The game itself was nothing more than an attempt of both teams to save face and to please a fan base that has lost patience.
The fans themselves should share the blame since in sporting events, there are winners and losers.
