Monterrey is the champion of the Concacaf Champions League . Los Rayados defeated América 1-0 at the BBVA Stadium thanks to an unusual goal by Rogelio Funes Mori, practically given away by the Eagles defense in the first minutes of the match.
Sebastián Cáceres made one of the most horrifying mistakes of the year and Funes Mori had no problem sending it to the network. The Uruguayan center-back of 22 years did not manage to clear a ball in the area: he miscalculated, stumbled and created the opportunity for him “Twin”.
With a childish mistake America decided its fate.
The Eagles of America did not know how to recover from the blow they gave themselves after starting the game . It took until the minute 35 to cause some danger in the goal defended by Esteban Andrada.
However, Monterrey was the team that had the clearest chances danger throughout the entire encounter. If they had been correct, they could easily have scored a couple more goals.
Arturo González, in the middle of the second half, headed only at the penalty spot, but totally off target. His poor definition prevented the “Gang” from calming down in the encounter.
Later, Cáceres avoided greater evils. Although he did not go from villain to hero, he did keep those led by Santiago Solari in a game until the end.
Vincent Janssen was about to score 2-0, but his shot was rejected at the goal line.
