Facing elimination, Santos Laguna got a goal from an unlikely source in the 90th minute to down Rayados and push them into the Liga MX Liguilla semifinal round on a 3-2 aggregate win. Roni Prieto got the series-winning goal in just his third playoff appearance as Santos advances to the semifinal round for the first time since the 2018 Clausura.
In the early minutes of the match Monterrey was on the front foot, taking the game to Santos by keeping possession of the ball in the Santos end of the field and harassing Santos as soon as they gained any possession of the ball.
