YouTube. For the second match of the Liga MX Apertura, Veracruz lost as a visitor against Monterrey with a tight 1-0 in a match where Pedro Gallese had an acceptable performance.
The Peruvian goalkeeper was attentive to every ball; however, he couldn't do anything to avoid the fall of his goal just 27 seconds after the start of the match with Dorlán Pabón's goal.
The most outstanding play by Pedro Gallese occurred in the second minute of injury time (90+2), when he saved three consecutive shots that could have been goals.
Avilés Hurtado was the first to fail against the national goalkeeper. The rebound from that play fell to Jorge Benítez and he also missed in two opportunities.
For the next match, Veracruz will have to host Puebla and they are obliged to win in order to keep fighting against relegation.
