Monterrey Draws 2-2 at Tijuana After Martial's 93rd-Minute Miss

The result drops Rayados to third, intensifying scrutiny of the goalless French signing.

Overview

  • Anthony Martial headed wide from point-blank range in the 93rd minute, squandering Monterrey's best chance to beat Xolos in Jornada 12.
  • Rayados left the border with a 2-2 draw that cost them ground in the Apertura 2025 standings, with reports noting a slip behind América in the race for seeding.
  • Since arriving in mid-September, Martial has played four matches for 162 minutes without a goal or assist, underscoring questions about his adaptation.
  • Sergio Canales was unavailable after a recent operation, and Domènec Torrent left Martial out of the starting XI for tactical reasons, with Lucas Ocampos and Óliver Torres stepping in.
  • Post-match reaction turned harsh as fans criticized Martial on social media and journalist Willie González blasted the forward and also accused Sergio Ramos of skipping the trip to Tijuana, according to Bolavip.
