Overview

• Rayados and América drew 2-2 at the Estadio BBVA, with Rodrigo Aguirre scoring at 82' and Ramón Juárez equalizing at 88', halting Monterrey’s seven-match win streak and dropping them to second place behind Cruz Azul.
• Anthony Martial entered at 89' for his Monterrey debut after just a few sessions with the squad, following his late-window arrival and public presentation.
• Coach Domènec Torrent said Martial’s integration will be day to day due to jetlag and limited preparation, noting the forward has only been with the group for three days.
• Sporting president José Antonio ‘Tato’ Noriega said Torrent urged the club to accelerate talks to sign Martial, addressing Pumas’ complaint about being overtaken in negotiations.
• Carlos Salcedo returned to the matchday squad after a long injury layoff, increasing competition for places ahead of Wednesday’s visit to Toluca.
