몬테레이 vs 크루스 아술

Monterrey beat Cruz Azul 1-0 at the Gigante de Acero, snapping a three-game winless run in the Apertura 2026. The game turned almost instantly, thanks to a costly defensive mixup deep in Cruz Azul's own box. César Garza broke the deadlock in the 7th minute, pouncing after Jeremy Márquez's back-pass proved too much for goalkeeper Kevin Mier under pressure. From there it was largely defensive work for the visitors, who pushed for an equalizer but found Esteban Andrada sharp between the posts. No cards or penalties, just a tense, tight afternoon. The win lifts Monterrey to 13 points from eight matches, ending a rough stretch and pushing Rayados back up the table. Cruz Azul, meanwhile, suffered a second straight defeat after a midweek Champions Cup loss to Inter Miami, though they still sit fourth on 15 points.
