The Liga MX quarterfinals got underway on Wednesday, and it all kicked off with the Clasico Regio. Monterrey stunned rivals Tigres with a 3-1 win at the Estadio Universitario to take control of their Liguilla quarterfinal tie.
Despite dominating possession, there were early hints this would not be a straightforward night for the hosts when, 16 minutes in and against the run of play, Carlos Sanchez slotted home when he collected an Edwin Cardona pass following a throw-win.
But Tigres equalized almost immediately when Rafael Sobis placed an effort at Jonathan Orozco's left post for the 1-1.
