History.Glory.

By: Jose | Comments Add Comments

I had been gone for a couple of weeks since i was out of town but i got back this week so i could not miss the Clasico Regiomontano which was a great game. Since ive been gone the team Lost against Cruz Azul, and beat the at the time undefeated and Superlider Toluca. Now Monterrey has defeated their biggest rival, Tigres. In a very heated game Monterrey dominated the game and took the win in “El Volcan”. The last time Monterrey won the in a short tournament was since 1996, tho we did beat them there in 2003’s semifinals. The game was very heating that fights started to break out in minute 17. By minute 22 Galindo,Meza,Davino, and Lucho had a yellow card already. the first goal was by Gaston “Gata” Fernandez in the first half when he takes the ball and takes on Baloy and Davino and shoots to the left side of the net leaving Orozco with nothing to do. Making history by scoring with both teams. After the goal Tigres decides to step down and defend, which was not a good thing. near the end of the first half the second goal came in by Monterrey’s defender Severo Meza. It all starts from a cross by Aldo, lands on Suazos head and bounces off to the back where Meza comes and just kicks the ball and making a Golazo. Later in Second half Suazo gets a chipped pass from Ayovi and as he goes inside penalty box he gets pushed down by defender Ortiz. Ref calls penalty. Suazo decides to take it him self and as he shoots the ball goes right to the post. Suazo misses. Later on in a great play where Baloy gets the ball he shoots with his head, the ball hits the post then bounces off back to Osvaldo Martinez, then he puts in a perfect cross and Aldo DeNigris puts in the second goal for Monterrey and gives us the victory as he make history. Then Suazo had so many chances its ridiculous how he fails to put in a goal and olnly hits posts. It just wasn’t a good day for Suazo. We take the well deserved win against our rivals and add one count to our wins of the Clasico Regiomontano.

Next up: Estudiantes.

Monterrey 3 – 0 Atlas

By: Jose | Comments 1 Comment

Monterrey easily defeats Atlas 3 goals to none in a good game dominated by Rayados. With an ending goal by Suazo who came in after the first half replacing Santana Monterrey golea Atlas. The first half was completely dominated by Rayados as the goals started to some in. At minute 28 the first goal came in as Carreno receives a cross from Medina he traps the ball with his chest and as the ball falls down Atlas Pachenco touches it with his foot as he scores on his own net. Then ten minutes later Santana scores the second of the game from a well cross by Osvaldito Martinez, as all he does is touch the ball for the goal. The rest of the half goes with Monterrey having a 2 – 0 Lead.
In the second half at minute 67 Zavala enters for Osvaldito and Suazo enters for Santana. Atlas create a couple of good plays but Orozco prevents the goals from our net. Then the 3rd and final goal for the game by Suazo comes at minute 85 as he gets a beautiful cross from Paredes he traps the ball, moves to the left as the keeper comes put Suazo keeps going and the keeper has no chance now as he got owned by Suazo and he just shoots the ball in for the third goal. The only downside was that Basanta got injured in his left leg. PLayers missing were Jesus Arellano, Luis Perez, and Aldo Denigris

!!!!VAMOS MONTERREY!!!!

Monterrey Shares Points With Indios; 0-0

By: Jose | Comments Add Comments


Last night in the first game of the season Monterrey faced off against Indios and tied 0-0. In a very good game with action from both teams Monterrey tied with no goal even though they did have the most clear opportunities of goal. Luis Perez & Arellano were not in field for this game due to injuries.

The two teams were pretty even the whole first half. Action from both teams but none seemed to be able to find the goal. The starting teams were really good. Monterrey this time started with Davino in the defense And left Martinez and Baloy in the bench. In this game you could really see the difference that Davino can bring to a game. It really helped the defense and it was more solid and better organized. Ayovi was working really hard as always creating dangerous plays, but a key player in this game was definitely “Chicharo” Lozano, Indios goalkeeper. Stopping a few clear goals. A very good job form the keeper. In the second half Aldo comes out and Carreno goes in. Carreno had a couple of clear shots for goal but one was missed and the other just stopped by the keeper. A bit late in the game Suazo comes in and he really makes a difference. Just as he comes in he has a very clear opportunity of goal shooting it to the right angle of the net and the keeper jumping high to reach it to send it for a corner. After that he only had a couple of shots but none landed.

Like this Monterrey ties with no goals and takes 1 point home. In my opinion we really deserved the other 2 points since the team really worked hard to get them.

A09 First Game VS Indios

By: Jose | Comments 1 Comment


Monterrey’s first match of the season. Our rival, Indios with a very good squad is looking to take the 3 points at their home stadium this Saturday night in Ciudad Juarez. Both teams just faced off in a friendly match a couple of weeks ago in a game very much dominated by Rayados but ended in the hands of Indios. Now, in a recent interview Osvaldo Martinez mention that to get a draw out of Ciudad Juarez wouldn’t be a bad thing. I personally thinks that is true but its not the right mentality to bring to a game. You need to think about the 3 points and only the 3 points. We need to go for the victory. Now, would it be disappointing to end in a draw? In my opinion, Yes. We have a very good team with the capacity of doing greatness, and although the absences of Luis Perez and maybe Suazo might conflict the game i think that we could take this game and take the 3 points home. Its all up to the team. Lets hope they do what they do and win the game.

In other news: Dario Carreno got nominated for the “Balon De Oro” which means golden goal for being the bets newcomer. others nominated are Arturo Echavarría – Indios, and Jorge Gastelum – Morelia. Best of luck goes out to Carreno.

By: Jose | Comments Add Comments


The new and Official Monterrey kit for Apertura 2009 & Clausura 2010 have been presented to the public. Last night Monterrey fans gathered them selves to observe the presentation of the Rayados jersey for next season at El Barrial. The new jersey have been greatly changed from last years jerseys. Now adding a new color that take us back in time to a glorious year of this team. The color Red comes back replacing our third color Orange. Not since the 80’s that Monterrey have used the color red, A color that we wore in the very first victory of the team in Mexico ‘86. This new kit really brings back a classic look of the team. Nike was clearly trying to set a classic look to the jersey and they really accomplished that with this new kit. The third color this time stands out even more, specially with the red socks, which we have back in our team. Also the color white comes back, taking a big part of the Away jersey. A color that is very important of the team and a color that has not been really represented much in the last couple of years. Read the rest of this entry »

Monterrey 0-1 Indios

By: Jose | Comments Add Comments

Last night Monterrey lot by the minimum against Indios De CD. Juarez. In a match played in La Joya, TX Monterrey lost their 3rd friendly in a row and 5th game of preseason. Now, should we worry about this loss? or take notes and fix the problems. In my opinion as i watched the game Monterrey dominated the whole game. The team had many chances and had complete possession of the ball the whole first half. With Lucho, Ayovi, and DeNigris had a lot of very promising shots and very close to scored But all the effort could not make the difference in the score. The starting formation Vucetich chose was a 5-2-3 with Omar Ortiz, Ordaz, Davino and Basanta, and Ayovi appearing in the left side and a suprising appearance of “Negro” Medina on the right. Galindo, Lucho in Middle. Santana, Carreño & De Nigris in the front.
The first half remained score less. The start of the second half began with Suazo replacing Carreno. Suazo created plays, some good, some bad, but none led to a score. In the middle of the second half the changes were big. Paredes came in for Basanta, Ayovi moved up to the midfield Diego Martinez substitutes Medina, and Osvaldo replaces Santana. Now with a 4-4-2 as expected for the start of the game. Indios landed the first and only goal of the match some time after the changes when Gato Ortiz couldn’t stop a ball correctly and bounces off of him to the player and goes in the net. Like this Monterrey lost their match against Indios.
