Leon got their first win of the season in a game where they overcame not only the rival but the terrible conditions on the field to get a 1-0 win. Incredibly heavy rainfall flooded the pitch before the game and forced the game to start 50 minutes late while the stadium’s crew tried to fix things. The game started well but it bogged down as the game continued and the field got ruined. As time went on, the muddy field got destroyed by the player’s cleats.
Monterrey was missing starting goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez and Dorlan Pabon, who were left off by the team after news came out that Gonzalez had a party for his birthday which Pabon attended, violating the COVID-19 rules.
