Monterrey defeats Santos 2-0
By: j |It’s taken quite some time but finally the Rayados gave their supporters a glimpse of how good the club can be, with a resounding 2-0 victory over Santos at the Tecnológico en Monterrey.
With pinpoint accuracy William Paredes opened the scoring with a perfectly placed left footed strike. The Rayados continued to pressure and if it [...]
week 7 Santos match preview
By: j |I’m not sure who came up with the “brilliant” idea of two matches within seventy-two hours in the hot Mexican summer. However that said, this will be a stunning attacking match that you won’t want to miss.
The real celebration for Monterrey comes when the transfer window closes and we can be assured Humberto Suazo is [...]
Necaxa match review
By: j |Monterrey broke their losing streak with a tough 1-0 victory over Necaxa on the strength of a Humberto Suazo goal five minutes before the half. The match was marred with a dreadful, water-logged pitch and a high level of fatigue from a short week. In-fact I was a bit surprised to see the match not [...]
Necaxa match preview
By: j |After the Rayados tough 3-2 loss to Cruz Azul they need to get untracked fast and win later tonight against Club Necaxa in Aguascalientes
Monterrey is desperate for points as the hopes of the early season have fallen away and now the hunt is for respectability. This has not looked like a championship club at [...]
Cruz Azul match review
By: j |Monterrey lost a tough 3-2 match to Cruz Azul after taking a 2-0 lead on the strength of two goals by Humberto Suazo. The first came of a penalty kick at the twenty-seventh while the second – well, let me stop for a second – the second reaffirmed his brilliance on the pitch and my [...]
week 5 preview Cruz Azul
By: j |Week five has the Rayados in desperate need of stability as they visit a tough Cruz Azul squad, who have title aspirations. Monterrey’s efforts will be severely hampered with the loss Felipe Baloy and Diego Ordaz who were red-carded last week in a embarrassing childish out-burst and Ricardo Lavolpe, serving the second of his four [...]
Tecos match review
By: j |The Tecos match can be summarized simply as an embarrassing display by under-performing players who lacked professionalism and discipline. Losing a match is one thing and there is no shame in losing to a team that is performs better but when you cannot conduct yourself accordingly on the pitch you embarrass the club whose crest [...]
week 4 v Tecos preview
By: j |With Richardo Lavolpe serving his four-match ban due to last weeks infraction, Flavio Davino will handle the sideline duties as the Tecos visit Tecnológico this Saturday. The Rayados will look to employ a aggressive attack with the trio of Humberto Suazo, Jared Borgetti and Carlos Ochoa beginning to click at full-speed. Over the first few [...]
when a draw is a victory
By: j |I prefer not to fan the flames of discontent regarding poor refereeing but when matches are decided with questionable decisions, the game suffers. Such is the case with the Monterrey versus Chivas match which fortunately ended in a draw or this would have been a horrible disservice to the fans and even respect for Football [...]
Chivas tonight!
By: j |One last word as the match is set to begin in less than an hour. The Rayados will be without Gonzalo Choy and Jesús Arellano (doubtful) due to injuries. With a near three year winning-drought at Jalisco and with those omissions, we’re likely to see Ricardo Lavolpe come out with a 5-3-2. I’ll have a [...]
