Atlético de San Luis took the points with a 3-1 win at Monterrey, striking early and then punishing the hosts on the counter. Monterrey had 72% possession and 26 shots but went behind inside five minutes and never recovered.
David Rodriguez put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute, and Rafita doubled the lead from Oscar Macías’ pass before half-time. Hugo Cuypers gave Monterrey hope with a 73rd-minute reply, but Oscar Macías restored the two-goal cushion six minutes later.
The stats say Monterrey dominated — 72% possession, 26 shots to nine and 14 corners to one — yet Atlético de San Luis created the better openings, with four big chances to three, and owed much to their goalkeeper’s seven saves. They were ruthless where it mattered.
