End of the match

Nothing for anyone after 90 minutes and both Cruz Azul and Monterrey go home with just one point.

Terrible for Rayados

With one more man for 20 minutes, with a superior squad man for man on each line, and against a Cruz Azul that is not having its best moment.

8 is added to the clock

Eight more minutes on the clock.

Enter: From the Rose

Sale: Cork

Offside and Berterame's goal is disallowed

Forced change for Cruz Azul

Sale: Sepulveda

Enter: Chiquete

Red for Piovi

The defender did not measure up in the entry and was sent off after stepping on Deossa's back.

22 thousand 878 fans tonight

The best start for Cruz Azul so far in the tournament, and in large part, is due to the Sergio Ramos factor.

Miiiiieeeeeer

Great save from the Colombian who made a perfect save against Berterame's arrival. Rayados had the 1-2 again, and they let him go.

Cruz Azul maintains possession

They are getting less and less likely to attack, but at least they have the ball and keep Rayados in their area.

Changes for Cruz Azul

Enter: Giakoumakis

Sale: Faravelli

Changes for Rayados

Sale: Fimbrez

Enter: Ambriz

Rayados also forgive me

Deossa did not fit into his natural profile and ended up giving the ball away to the Cementeros. Monterrey also has its own, but also with a lack of forcefulness.

What Cruz Azul is forgiving

They are the masters of the match, but they are unable to make that difference at the right moment. Another shot for Sepulveda ended up in Cardenas' gloves, but he undoubtedly had much more to give.

A penalty was requested for Cruz Azul

Sepulveda tried to sell a push in the box as a penalty, but the referee did not fall into exaggeration. There was contact, but not enough to sanction it as they wanted.

Rayados surpassed

Lots of stars and talent, but little collective football. Monterrey can't find a way to hurt this Cruz Azul.

Changes for Rayados

Sale: Ocampos

Enter: Deossa

Caaaardenas

A well-placed shot from Sepúlveda was looking for the far post. Once again, a great reaction from the Rayado goalkeeper. The Monterrey defense was completely lost.

Caaaaardenaas

Faravelli's shot at the near post ended up sending Mochis Cardenas to a corner. Cruz Azul is once again dangerously close to scoring.

Arrrrrrrrstart the complementary!

The whistle blows and the ball starts rolling again. The score is tied and both Celestes and Rayados will try to break it, and we will bring it to you in the minute-by-minute that AS Mexico prepares for you.

End of the first half

The score is tied and we go to the break. Ramos and Rivero are the scorers. Don't move, we'll have the replay of the goals for those who didn't see them.

The revolutions drop

With the break just around the corner, nobody is looking to take any more risks. Everything indicates that we will go into half-time with a 1-1 scoreline and await an equally good second half.

5 is added to the clock

The referee gives 5 more minutes to the clock. Final moments of this first half.

Canaleees missed it

One on one against Mier, but in the final sprint, the Spaniard stretched the ball too far, only to lose it to the Colombian's great clearance. Rayados also had their chance, and let it go.

Forgave Sepuuuulveda

Another dangerous move for Cruz Azul and another opportunity that the Cementeros waste. Sepulveda is one on one with Cardenas, who goes just wide of the Rayados goal. Cruz Azul does not want to extend their lead in the future, it could cost them dearly.

Cruz Azul forgives again

La Máquina found plenty of space, but it was the lack of decisiveness that took its toll. A precise cross left Rivero alone again, but the Uruguayan was unable to stretch his leg properly enough to just push it in. It was once again a foregone conclusion of 2-1.

Rayados can't find where to go

Sergio Canales is not clear when going forward; Torres is not very proactive; Ocampos has too many balls. You need at least one to generate football, but for now, Cruz Azul has known how to contain them.

Rotooooondi missed it

Deflections by Ramos and Rodo do not close the gap in a better way. Cruz Azul had the 2-1 in their power, but they forgave.

Boos for Ramos

Every time the Spanish captain takes the ball, the fans are booed and whistled. The Celeste fans try to make themselves heard from the stands.

Rayados retreats

Cruz Azul does not lower its intensity and Rayados begins to fall into despair. Monterrey gets into its own half and waits for the counterattack. La Máquina has the ball and is dangerous in every attack.

Center as if with the hand and powerful finish

Bogusz's stroke was exceptional. Ramos and Medina could do nothing but watch him go by, and we have a new game from the country's capital.

Goooooooal by Cruz Azuuuuuul

Rivero, the eternal captain of La Máquina, makes his presence felt and returns the gift to Monterrey that he had been giving for a while. Bogusz's precise cross and the Uruguayan's powerful header make it 1-1.

Ceeeeerca Rotondi

A shot that just went wide of Rayado's goal. Cruz Azul remains on top, but not as forcefully as they would like.

Ramos' second goal against Cruz Azul

He had already scored against them at the Club World Cup (still with the Merengues) and on the night of this Saturday, March 8, he did it again. Twice they faced each other, two goals for Sergio Ramos.

Sepuuuuuu missed it

One on one against Cardenas and the ball went just over the crossbar. The side flag would have disallowed the goal anyway, but Cruz Azul is looking to respond immediately.

Goooooooooool Rayaaaaaados! Gooooooal from Ramos

The hallmark of the house, the best defender in the world. Ramos' header ends up in the back of the net and Monterrey wins 0-1 away.

Errors in machine output

This is the second time that there have been two errors when trying to get out with the ball under control. Cruz Azul could pay dearly for it.

A game that was difficult at the start

The game is starting to stagnate in the middle of the field and the ball is no longer in the possession of either team. Different styles of play are coming together tonight.

Cruz Azul tries on the wings

Most likely, it is because it is the weakest sector of Rayados. With Ramos in the center, Cruz Azul takes its offense from the sides. A couple of good overflows so far, but without ending in danger as such.

Monterrey more cautious

Rayados are starting to make their presence felt tonight with more deliberate possessions. They are not looking to take risks and plan to study their opponent first.

Cruz Azul without waiting

The opening minutes and La Máquina doesn't wait any longer to immediately go forward. Regardless of the risk, Sánchez's team advances its lines and begins to move its positions to the sides in search of dangerous passes and crosses in the Rayada area.

Arrrrrrrrthe match begins!

The whistle blows and the ball starts rolling. Cruz Azul hosts Rayados to continue the action of Matchday 11 and the emotions are present both due to the importance of this match for both clubs, as well as the excitement of seeing Sergio Ramos in Liga MX.
