WATCH: Real Madrid and Spain legend Sergio Ramos scores his second goal in as many matches for Liga MX side Monterrey

Sergio Ramos continued his impressive start to life in Liga MX, scoring his second goal in as many matches for Monterrey. The Spanish defender found the net with a powerful header from a corner kick in the 12th minute of Rayados' match against Cruz Azul on March 9. Ramos' goal marks his second in just three appearances for Monterrey since joining the club in February.

"We return home with a draw and room for improvement. Happy with my second goal, we continue to work hard,” Ramos said after the game.

Monterrey coach Martín Demichelis praised Ramos after the match, stating, "Some doubted Sergio for his inactivity and his age, but he has demonstrated why he has that great international trajectory. He is the magician, corroborates it with every participation."

In the Liga MX Clausura 2025 match between Cruz Azul and Monterrey on March 9, Sergio Ramos opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner in the 12th minute. Cruz Azul equalized through Ignacio Rivero in the 21st minute. Despite Monterrey's efforts, including a disallowed goal by German Berterame, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Following their 1-1 draw over Cruz Azul, Rayados sit ninth on the Liga MX table and are 10 points behind league leaders Leon. However, they do occupy a finals series playoff place and sit two points off an automatic place in the finals series. Monterrey faces the Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of their Round of 16 CONCACAF Champions Cup clash (1-1 on agg) and then goes on the road to face Pumas UNAM in Liga MX on March 12 and 17, respectively.
