While almost everyone else in the soccer world was getting ready for the international break, with some players going to play for their counties while the players left behind were resting up, CF Monterrey and Querétaro instead got down to the business of a Copa MX quarterfinal at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer.
Monterrey went in to this Copa MX match with a fairly strong lineup, with Rogelio Funes Mori, who had gotten a red card against Cruz Azul over the weekend and will miss the all-important match against Deportivo Toluca after the break is over, regular first-team starter Dorlan Pabón, and a pair of Mexico internationals in Jonathan Gonzalez and Jesús Gallardo, along with top scorer Nico Sanchez.
