The most controversial moments | Monterrey 1-0 América: Matchday 16 Clausura of Liga MX 2025 Full-Time

Join us for minute-by-minute coverage of the Monterrey vs América matchday 16 in the Liga MX Clausura, goals and more

Finaaaaaaaaaaaal

Rayados take three golden points at home against the three-time champion, who have gone five consecutive matches without a win, four of them without scoring. Crisis in Coapa!

Yellow tantrum

Álvaro Fidalgo saved a pair with a superb drive that the referee interrupted, claiming the ball had gone out. The Spaniard exploded with determination.

Andrada controls

América took a short corner kick, close to the side, and Zendejas fired a left-footed shot that didn't cause any major problems for the 'Gang' goalkeeper.

Six minutes of added time are added to this intense second half.

Malagooooooon

Joaquín Moaxica, with a long drive, unleashed a powerful shot at the near post, and Malagón, with a solid glove, kept his team in the game.

Monterrey plays with fire

America has them back in their own zone. They're waiting for a counterattack to finish it all off.

Jardine responds

Out #6 Jonathan Dos Santos, in #186 Diego Arriaga

Out goes #18 Cristian Calderón, in comes #26 Cristian Borja

#4 Sebastián Cáceres exits, #29 Ramón Juárez enters

Andradaaaaaaaaaa

Zendejas drove spectacularly for several meters, dribbled past Sergio Ramos, but ran into Sebastián Andrada's wall.

Demichelis adjusts immediately

Out #4 Victor Guzman, in #33 John Stefan Medina

Exit #30 Jorge Rodríguez, enter #188 Joaquín Moxica

Exit #31 Roberto de la Rosa, enter #5 Fidel Ambriz

Gooooooooooooooooool by Rayadooooooooooo

In a second play after a corner kick, Nelson Deossa found the ball outside the area, took a left-footed shot that Malagón was slow to see and the bounce became complicated for him.

Great move!

América built from the back and finished with a great cross that Sánchez finished and was blocked.

It's time to step on the accelerator

It seems that every time América has some space and takes a bad defensive stance, they pause and take things easy. Coapa needs more verticality.

Important siege

Monterrey is increasingly on top, and América seems to be buckling, in danger of breaking. They need an answer from the bench.

What are you doing Cácereeeees!

Trying to play with his goalkeeper, Cáceres sent a stone toward his own goal. Malagón headed the ball out for a corner.

Modifica Demichelis

Out #29 Lucas Ocampos, in #17 Jesús Corona

#19 Jordi Cortizo leaves, #11 José Alvarado enters

From less to more

The visitors' dominance has passed, and Rayados is gradually regaining the prominence it had in the first half.

The defense grows

A pair of crosses into the box from Rayados. The 'Azulcrema' defense repelled the attack well.

Fimbres cautioned

A child commits a tactical foul close to the opponent's area. 'Chiquito' was looking to break away clearly until he received a kick from Íker Fimbres.

Goal disallowed

After a series of rebounds, Erick Sánchez sent it home. The play was ruled out due to a prior offside call by Víctor Dávila.

Another mandatory change

Diego Valdés leaves the field of play, in his place comes #24 Javairo Dilrosun

Valdés injured

With his hands on his face, Valdés leaves the field after an aerial challenge in which he felt discomfort in the rhythm.

America starts better

The Eagles took control at the start of the second half. After an intense play, Valdés and Dávila were left feeling injured.

Warn the Bird first!

A lively play saw Diego Valdés control a cross with his chest, but his half-scissor kick lacked power. Andrada pocketed the ball with one hand.

Actions resume

Now the Eagles move first and the second 45 minutes of this match are already underway.

The first part ends

Indeed, the four minutes started ticking away at the 45th minute, not the 47th. It was a match that wasn't without excitement, but the goal still remained elusive.

Four minutes of added time have been set for this first half. It remains to be seen whether they will start running at the 45th minute or the 47th minute, when the signal was given.

The position is confirmed

At the time of the cross, Israel Reyes was in front of the line, so the penalty was not awarded.

Penalty for America

América took a short corner kick. When the cross came, Israel Reyes flicked it on and Sebastián Andrada took it away.

They check for possible misplacement.

They look disconnected

America is unable to connect with its offensive elements.

America finds spaces

Monterrey has eased its high pressure, and the Eagles now have greater freedom to run, at least, their own half of the field.

Malagón appears

Íker Fimbres drove for several meters, people were asking for a long-range shot, and when he got going, his shot lacked power and Malagón controlled it without any major setbacks.

They regain prominence

Once again, América seems to have lost possession, and Rayados has all the focus and battles to find space.

What did you do Ocampos!

Ricardo Chávez, beating a pair of defenders, delivered a great cross to the penalty spot, where Ocampos appeared only to send it well over the goal.

It's already one per side

After a blocked serve, Zendejas ran and swept past Nelson Deossa. The Mexican-American was well booked.

First of the match

Álvaro Fidalgo was advancing with plenty of space ahead of him, he received a pull from Jordi Cortizo and the Rayados number 19 was cautioned.

He does not take advantage of the visit

Great cross from a prefabricated play that Zendejas couldn't re-center well and cut through the defense.

Saving bull!

A great header to assist Zendejas, who extended the ball a little too far, and Víctor Guzmán appeared punctually to tackle him.

They asked for assistance

A clash inside the box between Dávila and 'Corcho' Rodríguez left the Monterrey player hurt, but he got back to his feet as the referee had called for attention.

America subsists

The high pressure has yet to take effect against an Eagles team that has a lot of class to play in the back.

Clash of approaches

Rayados press high from the start, América jumps the lines as best it can and has earned a free kick in its favor in the opponent's half.

The problem of not having 9!

Great play by América until they put in a cross that Diego Valdés tried to put back inside the area, just where there was no one to close the gap.

They're asking for a hand!

A corner in favor of Rayados is headed downwards by Sergio Ramos. The entire "gang" is demanding that there be handball in the play.

Striped Monologue

América loses possession very quickly. Monterrey dominates these minutes and plays in the opponent's half.

The change is confirmed

#7 Brian Rodriguez leaves the field, in his place #11 Victor Davila enters.

Temporarily with 10

Brian leaves the field and the visitors are left with one less player while they make the substitution.

Attention for Brian

The Uruguayan midfielder went to the turf after a tackle from Chávez. He was left with significant discomfort in his groin.

The meeting begins!

The pre-game ceremony concludes, and the home team is the first to put the ball into circulation on the Steel Giant's field.
