Germán Berterame converted a 25th‑minute chance off a rebound to deliver the victory at Estadio Corregidora. Monterrey rose to 21 points through eight matches to return to first place in the Apertura 2025 standings. Querétaro remained 17th with four points after eight rounds in a match where they lacked finishing. Sergio Ramos was unavailable after receiving his fifth yellow card in the previous fixture, triggering an automatic ban. Lucas Ocampos started on the bench as Fidel Ambriz entered the midfield, and new signing Anthony Martial was not yet in Mexico to debut.
