CF Monterrey welcome Mazatlán FC to the Estadio BBVA Bancomer on Monday night in what promises to be a lively Liga MX clash.
The Rayados have hit the ground running in the Apertura, collecting nine points from a possible twelve. Their most recent victory over León was arguably their sharpest display since last year's Club World Cup. Jesus "Tecatito" Corona broke the deadlock inside 15 minutes, Luis Chávez doubled the advantage, and veteran playmaker Sergio Canales sealed the win with a composed finish after the interval. At the back, Sergio Ramos once again showed his class, winning three of four aerial battles and producing eight crucial clearances. Riding this wave of momentum, Fernando Ortiz’s side will be eager to keep their foot on the gas in front of their home fans.
Mazatlán, meanwhile, have made a respectable start of their own. They battled to a draw against Cruz Azul, claimed a victory over Puebla, and enjoyed success in the Leagues Cup — edging past LAFC on penalties before taking down Houston Dynamo in Texas. Back on domestic soil, they were pegged back late by a penalty against Tijuana, but still walked away satisfied with a 2-2 stalemate. The Cañoneros now head into this trip looking to spring a surprise against one of the league’s early pacesetters.
