Rogelio Funes Mori's goal was gorgeous. In the 60th minute of Monterrey's Liguilla match against Santos Laguna, the Argentine forward, only recently back to full fitness, used his chest for his first touch on a cross from Carlos Rodriguez. Then he unleashed an overhead kick to score the only goal in the first leg of the quarterfinal clash.
The series now heads to Torreon with Rayados holding the slimmest of advantages thanks to Funes Mori's goal. It was beautiful, a work of art.
Yet, the most impressive feat in Monterrey on Wednesday night wasn't the 'chilena' but rather the defensive effort Monterrey put in to deny Santos an away goal that could have been crucial in the series.
