The Rayados of Monterrey still without a new coach, Argentine Martin Demichelis on the benchmanaged to clean up a little the damaged image that he left in the Leagues Cup, which turned out to be a trap for the work of the also Argentine coach Fernando Ortizby beating Puebla 1-2, in an early match of matchday 16 that represented the official resumption of activity in the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga MX.
A victory based on the greater capacity of the Monterrey team led on an interim basis by the Argentines Nicolás Sánchez and Hugo Castillo, but where only Nico Sánchez appeared on the bench due to his institutional registration to add its fourth consecutive victory in the domestic tournament of Mexico and thus become the leader of the current competition.
Demichelis began to observe his new charges And from the stands, an idea was given of what the squad will be like that he will be in charge of starting Monday and where the demands will be day by day and with the main objective of achieving the title in the Apertura 2024 tournament.
In the details of the game, Monterrey had a hard time finding the skein of the actions because Puebla knew that the weakness of his squad prevented him from playing as equals, forced the Monterrey team to open the oyster until they achieved it in the 35th minute through Germán Berterame who managed to connect with the ball on a rebound and nestle it in the net.
This annotation It was a bucket of cold water for Chepo de la Torre’s scheme, who opened up their scheme and were on the verge of being caught by the Rayados to increase the score, but in the end it all ended in mere scares.
For the second half, the Rayados returned to the charge and did not hesitate to go forward supported in the work of the Spaniards Sergio Canales and Oliver Torres, who did not hesitate to put all their quality at the service of their colours on the pitch until Canales scored a great goal to make the score 2-0 and make Nico Sánchez’s team believe that everything was resolved.
Rayados, with the advantage, made the mistake of believing that everything was resolved and when they realized it, Puebla had already woken up, with an action that could have been a penalty, but the referee, with the support of the VAR, denied them that possibility. and then with a goal by Santiago Ormeño in the 81st minute, he began to put the Rayados in a difficult position.
However, when they were under pressure, they went back to the front and in the remaining 15 minutes that were played, Berterame still had the 1-3, but he emptied his shot and with that the game ended with a victory by the minimum difference, without reflecting what really happened on the field of play.
