JUÁREZ, Chihuahua (KVIA) -- FC Juárez Bravos and Pumas UNAM played a Play-in match Sunday in Juárez for a chance to get into Mexico's top-tier soccer league playoffs, in which the border team lost in a penalty shootout.

After the game finished, things got heated between both teams as Pumas' celebrations escalated tensions in and outside the field.
