After a first half where Club América seemed to have everything under control, things changed in the second half thanks to Monterrey's soccer rebellion. Thanks to a header from Maximiliano Meza, the locals achieved a 2-2 draw in the match corresponding to the second round of the Apertura 2022 tournament of the Liga MX.
After a great combination on the left side, the Argentine forward received a great cross from Arturo González. Taking advantage of his good positioning, he arrived in the area unmarked to score a header and level the score.
Once again, defensive problems expose the 'Águilas', but this time the context is even more worrying: they did not hold on to the advantage they had and now they could leave Estadio BBVA Bancomer empty-handed.

In the capital team, Peruvian defender Luis Abram received the trust of the Uruguayan strategist and started the Apertura as a starter. It is expected that the former Sporting Cristal player will be part of the lineup against 'Tuzos'.
Pachuca, on the other hand, also won in their debut in the competition. The blanquiazul team defeated Querétaro (2-0) at the Hidalgo. The goals of the night were scored by Nicolás Ibáñez and Avilés Hurtado.
"We have to continue marking an evolution as the games go by, in the precision in the game, some sectors of the field, there are positive aspects," commented Guillermo Almada, Pachuca's guide, who renewed his contract with the institution until 2025.
