NBC DEPORTES presents Week 5 of the Liga MX Torneo Apertura 2015 with Pachuca vs. UNAM live this Saturday, August 15 at 9PM/8C/6P on Telemundo and NBC UNIVERSO. Veteran sportscaster Sammy Sadovnik will narrate the action with commentary by three-time top Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo and former Chivas de Guadalajara star Manuel Sol.
After starting the season with two wins in a row, Pachuca has struggled to clinch another victory despite its solid performance on the field. In a mid-week game against Monterrey, Pachuca coach Diego Alonso fielded a disciplined and orderly team that tried its best but couldn't pull ahead for the win. Ariel Nahuelpán scored twice his first time out and leads the league with five goals.
Fresh from a 5-0 win over a dispirited Atlas, Memo Vázquez's Pumas are ready for a repeat in Hidalgo Stadium in their first away game of the season. The match is expected to be close: both teams have six points and only the number of goals scored separates UNAM (in sixth place) from Pachuca (in eleventh).
