HITS
He came out with everything at the start of the duel
The impetus and enthusiasm that the local team put in once they Fernando Hernandez blew his whistle, as they went with everything to the front looking for the arch guarded by Guillermo Ochoa.
Through long passes, filtered balls and walls, they easily ate the Americanist rear, having their reward only after nine minutes.
Taking advantage of a rude Uruguayan mistake Sebastian Caceres, who did not know how to clear a center of Jesus gallardo, slicing only, he left the Twin to push the ball to the bottom of the nets.
The great game of César Montes
In itself, the defensive line of Monterrey lived up to the commitment, with Montes and Hector Moreno in the central and the Colombian Stefan medina and the chilean Sebastian Vegas on the bands.
However, the performance of the Puppy is to stand out, as he was imposing in the aerial game, winning everything against the opponents, besides he also knew how to counter Henry Martin.
In this way, the defenders also avoided any setback for the Argentine goalkeeper. Esteban Andrada.
They ended their losing streak at the exact moment
The gang He came with the statistics against and it was not for less, because he came from adding four consecutive defeats in the MX League unlike his rival, who had four consecutive wins.
That did not dampen the spirits of the players, who came out totally committed, shutting down all the azulcremas for long periods of time, recalling the memory of what should be done well.
Added to that, Striped can boast that it is the only team that has not lost any final of the Concachampions, since at America that record ran out.
After the goal, they let the rival grow
Terrible failure of Javier Aguirre and his pupils, because after the goal achieved by Funes mori, they were lowering their revolutions, therefore, they stopped attacking.
Due to this, those from Coapa, who at first did not adapt to the field of play, little by little they did so and began to step on the striped area more often, especially since the locals little by little were backing down.
Same case for the complement, because when there were still 20 minutes to complete the match, they only waited for the approach of the capital, counting on luck because they did not generate almost no danger.
However, this passivity almost leads them to a possible penalty that could have taken everything to overtime, since there was a controversial play in the area where a hand from the Argentine was requested. Maxi Meza, but the whistler did not decree it after reviewing the VAR.
They forgave too many times
The match ended 1-0, but it could have easily been 3-0, but Striped he forgave too much by not knowing how to solve correctly.
Input, Carlos Rodriguez he forgave at minute 3, as he received a cross completely alone in the area, heading to the side, when he could have dropped the ball.
Later, at 59 ‘, Meza He was also alone in the area, however, instead of going down the round he headed to send the ball into the hands of Ochoa.
At 71 ‘, it was the turn of Alfonso Gonzalez to forgive with a header, then again Meza was in front of the goal after stealing the ball, however, his shot flew.
Finally, in added time, Charly cut a rival near the area and also flew his shot.
