Overview

• Martial entered in the 89th minute at Estadio BBVA to an ovation, replacing Óliver Torres with the match already level at 2-2.
• His appearance came just hours after his formal presentation, following only a handful of training sessions with Monterrey.
• Carlos Salcedo was also named to the squad, marking his return to availability roughly nine months after a ligament injury in January.
• Before kickoff, defender Stefan Medina was a doubt due to a muscular issue and was set for a late fitness test.
• Club president José Antonio ‘Tato’ Noriega said Torrent urged the club to accelerate talks for Martial and rejected Pumas’ claim that Monterrey acted improperly in the transfer.
