With the conclusion of another exciting slate of matches, we are now at the halfway point of the Liga MX season. The biggest surprise of the week happened at the Estadio Azul on Saturday where Cruz Azul brushed aside the league leaders Monterrey.
Omar Mendoza had opened the scoring from a well-taken corner in the 10th minute before Jorge Benitez slotted home Cruz Azul's second on 30 minutes.
With just seven minutes to play in the first half, the hosts kept their attacking options open and earned a penalty through Rafael Baca. Joffre Guerron stepped up only to see his spot kick saved by Jonathan Orozco.
