Match recap: Cruz Azul 2, Monterrey 1

When talking about Liga MX, invariably the conversation shifts to how fun the game is in the league. A perfect example of this sort of enjoyable insanity was on display this evening as Cruz Azul defeated 10-man Monterrey 2-1 at Estadio Azteca.

In the 10th minute, Roberto Alvarado went to clear a ball and when he kicked, he wound up hitting Stefan Medina in the face. Medina was down for several minutes with his nose gushing blood. There was no malice on Alvarado’s part - it was a bit of a freak accident, so no card was issued.
