Pumas UNAM and Orlando City kick off their 2025 Leagues Cup journey when they go head-to-head on Wednesday. Both sides picked up wins in their respective domestic outings last weekend and will look to keep the ball rolling at the Inter & Co Stadium.
Pumas UNAM turned in a solid team display last Saturday when they picked up a 2-0 victory over Queretaro in their Mexican Liga MX clash at the Estadio Corregidora.
Efraín Juárez’s side had failed to pick up any points from their two matches to start the 2025 Apertura campaign, suffering consecutive defeats against Santos Laguna and Pachuca.
Pumas will look to improve on their performance from the 2025 Leagues Cup, where they reached the round of 16 before losing 4-0 at the hands of Seattle Sounders.

Orlando City, meanwhile, turned in a fine show of fighting spirit at the weekend as they secured a 3-1 comeback victory over Columbus Crew despite trailing with 15 minutes left in the game.
Prior to that, Oscar Pareja’s men snapped their four-game winless run on July 20, when they picked up a 2-1 victory over New England Revolution at the Gillette Stadium.
Like Pumas, Orlando City reached the knockout stages of the Leagues Cup last season, but crashed out in the round of 32 following a penalty-shootout defeat against Cruz Azul.
