Monterrey finished second place in the Club World Cup for the second time in club history as los Rayados beat AFC Champions League winners Al-Hilal 4-3 on penalties.
Antonio “Turco” Mohamed’s men came into this match following a heartbreaking defeat to Liverpool in the Semifinals, but a third-place duel against the Asian champions seemed like the perfect opportunity for the Mexican side to finish the tournament on a positive note.
However, Monterrey went behind after 35 minutes when a cross down the left-flank side finished with Carlos Eduardo putting the Saudi side in front.
