As forecasted last week, Rayados de Monterrey dealt with their Estado de México rivals with no real challenge. In what ended up being a very rainy Tuesday night in the Estadio BBVA in the aftermath of Hurricane Hanna, Rayados rediscovered victory 215 days later. But who’s counting?
Right out of the gate, the blue and white came out firing, as Dorlan Pabón controlled a bouncing ball just outside of Toluca’s penalty box which he fired fiercely just over the crossbar in barely the 4th minute of action. Toluca answered a couple minutes later, with a good combination between Estrada and Medina, with the latter being denied on the goal-line by the Monterrey defense.
