MXAtlante drew 1-1 against Puebla in the Apertura 2026 tournament, continuing their struggle for consistency after seven weeks since their first and only win. Puebla took control of possession early in the match, and a defensive error by Atlante allowed Walter Portales to score in the 41st minute, giving Puebla a brief chance at their second victory of the season. However, Atlante responded with a missed long-range shot by Martín Sarrafiore in the 48th minute. In the second half, Mathías Tomás equalized for Puebla in the 53rd minute, securing the draw. The return of player 'El Hobbit' Bermúdez marked his first minutes with Atlante this season, though the team remains distant from their goal of qualifying for the 'Fiesta Grande,' while Puebla temporarily holds fifth place in the league table. Atlante faces Monterrey next, needing a win to regain momentum.
