I need to comment on Sergio Canales. The Spanish midfielder is complaining about his shoulder. Monterrey continues to defend but gains possession, allowing Gerardo Arteaga to send a powerful shot wide of Kevin Mier’s goal.
Lucas Ocampos loses the ball. Torrent talks to his assistants. Larcamón gives instructions to get them to attack more. La Máquina has possession, and Monterrey will have to make changes to stop playing with that line of four and move to a line of five.
Oliver Torres receives a red card, meaning he misses next week’s Monterrey derby, leaving Monterrey with 10 men. Monterrey is in danger, as a free kick is awarded to La Máquina, with Rodríguez sending in a cross with Ditta for Mochis to save.
Cruz Azul tries to get a shot with Paradela, but there’s a foul that results in a yellow card for Oliver Torres on José Paradela. The Spaniard lets his leg go as he goes for the ball. VAR analyzes the play for a possible red card.
Charly Rodríguez fouled Germán Berterame, leading Jeremy Márquez to a Lucas Ocampos tunnel. Spanish, Oliver Torres sent the cross to capitan Sergio Ramos, who finished the Spaniard over Kevin Mier’s goal.
After the players’ resignation, Ricardo Chávez and Rodolfo Rotondi will remain on the field. The Argentine full-back is wearing a head bandage and a swimming cap. Carlos Salcedo is also on the bench for a possible transfer from Monterrey.
Ricardo Chavez and Carlos Rotondi collide while going for the ball. There is blood on both players. The commission protocol is applied to ensure both players are healthy. The substitutes are warming up for a possible substitution.
Jeremy Márquez commits a foul on Jorge Rodríguez. The cork ends up on the ground and ends up proving valuable with a throw-in for Cruz Azul. Rayados regains possession and looks to go forward. But Cruz Azul has the ball with Ditta.
The first 45 minutes of the match have begun. We begin with the action that has everyone excited. We have a great match on the pitch today. We’ll see goals, fouls, and cards, but above all, we’re going to have fun. The referee blows his whistle and starts the clock. VAR is ready to keep an eye on things.
