Los Rayados hosted league leading Pumas UNAM at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer Saturday night. Monterrey was looking to put a bad 3-0 to Club América at the Azteca behind them, while Pumas was looking to continue their hot streak and keep up with Cruz Azul, La Maquina had already beat Club León earlier in the evening.
However, Monterrey held on to an early lead to get a good victory at home, leaving los Rayados in second place in the table, just one point behind Cruz Azul.
Monterrey got the match off to a good start, scoring a goal from a corner kick within the first five minutes.
