MEXICO CITY, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Argentine defender Manuel Capasso struck late to earn Atlas a 2-2 home draw with Pumas UNAM in Mexico's Liga MX Clausura tournament on Saturday.

Pedro Vite and Juninho scored either side of Mateo Garcia's 43rd-minute strike during a frenetic first half at Jalisco Stadium.

The visitors maintained control in the second half and appeared set for their third win of the campaign before Capasso headed in a 90th-minute equalizer following Diego Gonzalez's cross.

Atlas remains fourth in the 18-team standings, a point ahead of fifth-placed Pumas, with both teams having played five games.

In other fixtures on Saturday, Pachuca won 2-0 at home to Juarez, Queretaro secured a 2-0 home win over Leon and Cruz Azul drew 1-1 at Toluca.
