In what was another wet and rainy Monterrey setting, Rayados and Cruz Azul met yesterday night in Estadio BBVA, with the former attempting to remain league-leaders and the latter fighting to get into Repechaje positioning. Stakes were high not only due to playoff implications, but also from this ever-growing rivalry in which we have grown accustomed to very good quality and high-scoring matches.
It was a tough start to say the least for the visitors, as within two minutes of the initial whistle, Corona had dove to stop a dangerous header on target and a controversial no-call penalty had already transpired.
