Liga MX Player of the Week: Rogelio Funes Mori

Rayados de Monterrey’s Rogelio Funes Mori was named Liga Bancomer MX Player of the Week for a second time this season, this time for Jornada 14, by a poll of Liga MX English-language writers and broadcasters.

Funes Mori had three goals in Monterrey’s 4-0 win against Santos Laguna. It was the Argentine’s first hat-trick of the season and his first time finding the back of the net in the league since the Clasico Regio during Jornada 10.

In the 60th minute, Funes Mori made a great triangulation with Rodolfo Pizarro and Aviles Hurtado. Both Funes Mori and Hurtado raced inside Santos’ area before the Colombian kicked a pass right through the legs of a Santos defender and found Funes Mori, who kicked home the 2-0 advantage for Rayados.
