Monterrey qualified to the 2024 Apertura Semifinals after defeating Pumas by a 5-3 score in the second leg. It was a great match in which Monterrey bounced back after a 1st half where they were the inferior side to get a solid victory that got them thru to the Semifinals. Pumas, who moved the match to 12:00 Pm to take advantage of the weather, failed to live up to expectation although a couple of controversial plays went against them.
The 1st half started with Pumas coming out with Guillermo Martinez up top while Rodrigo Lopez took the place of Jorge Ruvalcaba.
