Sergio Canales He converted a penalty on Tuesday after 97 minutes and in a 0-1 away win over tigerhe sent his new team, Montereyin the quarterfinals of League Cup.
Monterrey, the team led by Argentine coach Fernando Ortiz, will face Los Angeles FC in the quarterfinals, which has now left Real Salt Lake on the road with a 4-0 win.
The royal derby of Mexican soccer was played today in Houston with many struggles and few goal moves. Until the game looked like a judged case, Javier Aquino committed a foul in the area and Canales got the penalty. The fight was intense. Both teams have strategies in place, Monterrey especially with him, a former Betic and the Argentine Rogelio Funes Mori and the Tigres with the French André Pierre Gignac.
In the second half, the battle for the ball blocked the play in the middle of the field. When it looked as though the game would have to be decided in a penalty shootout, Monterrey ventured into the attack and the penalty was executed by Canales, leaving Tigres empty-handed, with Uruguayan Robert Dante Siboldi on the bench.
