Video. Jordi Cortizo ties the score and gives Monterrey an advantage over Tigres on aggregate

Rayados is getting closer to getting its ticket to the semifinals of the Clausura 2024 tournament of Liga MX. The team led by Fernando Ortiz began by losing the match after a great goal from André Pierre Gignac, however, in the second half they scored a very important goal to increase their advantage and make it difficult for their sporting archrivals to qualify.

In the 59th minute, the Albiazules made it 1-1 in the second leg of the quarterfinals, and 3-2 on the aggregate score, through a score by Jordi Cortizo.

The play began with a counterattack by the Rayados. After a series of rebounds, the ball reached Sergio Canales, who took a powerful and placed shot from outside the area. The Spanish footballer’s shot hit the post.

The rebound fell at the feet of Jordi Cortizo, who came on as a substitute for the second half, who only had to push the ball into the goal defended by Andrada.

Cortizo’s goal forces Tigres to score a couple more, without conceding, in order to advance to the semifinals.

If this result is final, Monterrey will face Cruz Azul in one of the semifinals of the Clausura 2024 tournament of the MX League.
