With Santos Laguna and Monterrey squaring off in the Liguilla, it was a good time to catch up with FOX Deportes’ Mariano Trujillo, who is usually on the broadcasts for both Santos and Rayados. Trujillo gave me some good insight on the matchup of these regional rivals, who are seemingly perfect foils for one another.
I started off asking if he thought either team had an advantage coming in, with Monterrey getting a week off while Santos shellacked Querétaro 5-0 in the repechaje.
“I think it’s funny, but the situation plays out good for both teams,” Trujillo said.
