Janssen too good a player to be left warming the bench

In a poor Saturday night outing vs. their northern rival Santos Laguna, Rayados de Monterrey were barely able to squeeze out a 2-2 draw thanks to an 89th minute goal by defender Daniel Parra. After a promising start to the match, dominating the first quarter of action with a Nico Sánchez goal to show for it, everything turned upside down for Monterrey. Players became static on the pitch, wingers had no interest in making runs to the byline, Layún continued his abysmal decision-making with the ball, Maxi Meza couldn’t finish a play, and the team basically relied on Pavón’s outside shooting which wasn’t enough.
