Monterrey is in deep trouble after a 3-goal disadvantage courtesy of their 1st leg loss against Pachuca by a 5-2 score. Pachuca is in prime position to advance as they are in a better moment and have the boost from the late goal. Monterrey held a rally in their stadium as players promised to complete the comeback on Sunday, but it will be very tough to stop Pachuca from eliminating both Monterrey teams.
With coach Victor Manuel Vucetich, Rayados went into the 1st leg with a defensive set up that tried to minimize their opponent’s opportunities. It paid off for Monterrey after a very well played 1st half where they took a 2-2 tie at halftime before it all crumbled.
