Despite witnessing his squad see out a 2-0 season opening result over Atlas in Guadalajara on Saturday, Rayados head coach Javier Aguirre wasn’t pleased with his team’s showing. After a convincing first half featuring multiple scoring opportunities, including a wide open ‘swing and a miss’ by Vincent Janssen, Monterrey managed to put two on the board thanks to striker Rogelio Funes Mori to head into the half with a comfortable lead. Then, following a tremendous blunder by right-back José Abella, he was shown a red card with just over half an hour to go in the match. From that point on, Rayados became passive and even allowed for the home team to create a couple dangerous opportunities toward the end of the match.
