Monterrey earned a gut-wrenching 1-0 victory on Sunday when they visited Pumas UNAM on the thirteenth day of Mexico’s Apertura soccer tournament.
Monterrey’s Rayados, who have two games remaining, have 20 points and moved up from eighth to fifth place overall.
There were few scoring opportunities in the match at Mexico City’s Olympic University Stadium, and it was not until the 93rd minute that Alfonso González scored the winning goal for Monterrey with a shot into the box, hitting the ball close to the left post after being controlled by center Luis Romo from the right.
Despite the loss, Pumas remains in third place with 21 points.
