The Rayados took advantage of the opportunities they presented to them to beat La Maquina.
Vincent Janssen compares Liga MX with the Eredivisie and the Jupiler League; he earns the hatred of the European count.
Monterrey and Cruz Azul maintained weak inertia during the first leg at the Azteca Stadium. Still, it was enough for the Rayados to achieve a 3-0 victory against a machine that had options up front but not the forcefulness necessary to win the Second leg game of the Quarterfinals played this Saturday, October 15, at the BBVA Stadium field and which allowed them to access the Semifinals.
Before the start of the game, German Berterame received the Golden Ball from the president of Liga MX, Mikel Arriola, for being the best scorer of the 2021-22 season of the Mexican championship.'
And it was precisely Berterame who was in charge of opening the scoring. The Argentine striker rose to finish off a cross from a corner kick and beat Juan Escobar's mark to beat Jesús Corona 20 minutes into the game.
Previously, the goalkeeper of the Machine had saved his goal from Rodrigo Aguirre in the same way, a header with the power of a corner kick, but that was more placed in the position of the cement goalkeeper.
For the second half, the Machine continued to propose to the front looking for the discount that would allow them to get fully into the fight. Still, on several occasions, they found themselves with the immeasurable figure of Esteban Andrada, combined with the poor aim of their forwards, who failed to pierce the opponent's goal.
And when it wasn't the goalkeeper, it was the post that saved Rayados. Carneiro assisted Rotondi, who finished off with the first intention, but the shot went to Andrada's right metal, making it clear that it would not be an easy night for La Maquina.
The tragic night for Cruz Azul ended with a goal from Rogelio Funes Mori. El Mellizo was assisted in pushing the ball alone in front of the goal in action and reviewed for several minutes by the VAR to determine its correct position.
Jesús Gallardo closed the account against a discouraged Cruz Azul, and the defender went ahead of his mark. After receiving a cross from the left, he finished off in front of the frame, leaving Corona with no chance and leaving definitive figures on the scoreboard.
