Alan Mozo's return to the Estadio Olímpico Universitario proved to be a difficult experience. The defender, now representing Cruz Azul, was met with a chorus of boos from the Pumas faithful the moment he stepped onto the pitch.
The incident occurred in the 81st minute when the coaching staff brought Mozo on to replace Willer Ditta. As soon as he appeared on the field, the home crowd made their discontent clear, signaling their disapproval of their former player's return to the ground in an opposing jersey.
The reaction carried specific weight given Mozo's history with the club; he developed through the Pumas youth ranks and spent several years defending the blue and gold colors. Facing his former team as a rival added a layer of tension that the fans were quick to address from the stands.
While the match itself ended in a competitive draw, Mozo’s appearance served as a sharp reminder of how intense the atmosphere can be for players returning to their formative clubs as adversaries.
