Match Recap: Monterrey outlast Club Tijuana 3-0 in rain-soaked match

Club Tijuana, winners of three straight Liga MX matches, faced off against a Monterrey team that hadn’t won a match in over a month, with the last victory for Los Rayados coming against Lobos BUAP back in August.

Monterrey needed a win to ensure that they would stay in the Liguilla places, while a victory for Xolos would see them leap up into the Liguilla spots themselves. The rain was coming down hard, and while they did play the match, it had to be called early because of the conditions.

Monterrey walked away with three points and a lucky win, and Club Tijuana will leave disappointed that they were behind when the conditions made play almost impossible, as a fluke goal for Monterrey near the end of the match ended up putting the match out of reach for Tijuana.
