UNAM Pumas remain the only undefeated team in Mexico despite having a player sent off and Argentine striker Martin Bravo missing an early penalty in a 0-0 draw against lowly Pachuca on Sunday.

Bravo missed the spot kick in the 11th minute, and the Pumas played with 10 men after Francisco Palencia was sent off in the 43rd.

After the 11th round of the Mexican Clausura championship, the Pumas lead the league and are top of Group 3 by four points from Morelia and Cruz Azul.

The top two in each of the three groups of six teams progress to the playoffs to decide the champion.
