Monterrey went into the match looking to continue their winning streak and stay on top of the Liga MX table while Queretaro were looking to nick a point, or even a win, on their travels and extend their own unbeaten streak.
Monterrey had not allowed a goal in their first two matches on the road, and new manager Diego Alonso was looking to get his first league win at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer after picking up his first home win against Puebla in the Copa MX this past Wednesday.
Monterrey had an early chance, as the Querétaro keeper failed to properly deal with a free kick that was sent into the box.
