Pumas picked up a shutout on Sunday, stopping Toluca's offense cold. In fact, Pumas' defense has been unpenetrable this season as the club has yet to allow a goal.

But manager Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti was still not pleased with his team's latest performance.

"It was an intense, hard-fought match," Ferretti said in a press conference following Pumas' 0-0 draw with Toluca. "Naturally, the result does not leave us satisfied. The opportunities came but we were not able to complete any of then, and we had a good team in front of us."

Martin Bravo came closest to scoring but his 82nd-minute shot went off the crossbar.

Pumas' meager attack now has gone two games without scoring, and has room for improvement despite a solid start defensively.

"The team is doing well but can improve," Ferretti said. "We need to keep working. If you want to make comparisons - which I do not like to do - what we do this season will be better than we did last season, but that wouldn't do me any good. What I want is to obtain good results but (Sunday's) does not satisfy me."
