Oh, that Monterrey vs Xelajú MC match was quite close. I thought the Rayados would thrash them in Guatemala, but no, it ended 1-1 and honestly, it was a very competitive game. 'Tecatito' Corona saved the team with his goal because otherwise, they would have returned empty-handed from Mario Camposeco.

The interesting part was that Xelajú set up a solid defensive stance. That Antonio López who plays for them is Mexican by birth, trained at América but became a naturalized Guatemalan to play for Guatemala, so he knows the football here. The Rayados played with their usual 4-3-3, but it wasn't enough to break through the home defense.

Anyway, that Monterrey vs Xelajú MC ended in a draw. It's not the result Doménec Torrent was hoping for, but in these international competitions, sometimes you have to settle. Let's see how they do in the second leg.
