MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Jorge Ruvalcaba struck late as Pumas UNAM ended a three-game winless run with a 3-2 victory at San Luis in Mexico's Liga MX on Sunday.

Pumas' Argentine winger Ignacio Pussetto scored either side of Vitinho's first-half goal before Juan Sanabria equalized for the hosts with a 68th-minute strike.

Despite controlling only 37% of the total possession, Pumas posed a constant threat on the counterattack and Ruvalcaba restored his side's lead by dribbling past a defender before slotting a low effort into the far corner.

It marked Pumas' first win since a 2-1 home victory over Necaxa on January 13 and only their second victory of the current Liga MX Clausura season. The result left San Luis 17th in the 18-team standings with just one victory from five games.

In Sunday's only other Liga MX fixture, Puebla prevailed 2-0 at Santos Laguna courtesy of goals from Luis Quinones and Pablo Gonzalez. Enditem
