Monterrey vs. León – Game Report – October 16, 2021 – ESPN

Cruz Azul and Tigres divided units, after drawing 1-1 on the Azteca Stadium field, a building that witnessed a game that lacked emotions in the goals. Hugo Ayala, with an own goal, and André-Pierre Gignac, were the authors of the annotations of the commitment of the thirteenth date of the Apertura 2021.

The Machine opened the scoring in the 14th minute thanks to an own goal by Hugo Ayala, who in the previous play had saved his goal with a great sweep. Orbelín Pineda sent a filtered pass to Jonathan Rodríguez. However, the central Tigres tried to cut the ball, but ended up slicing it and covered Nahuel Guzmán, who could do nothing to prevent the first goal of the commitment.

Cruz Azul’s advantage only lasted three minutes. André-Pierre Gignac executed a free kick with the same power that left Jesús Corona without reaction, who despite the fact that he launched himself, did not manage to stop the Frenchman’s shot.

André-Pierre Gignac was a constant danger to the rear of the cement producers. The ’10’ of the felines was close to making the second after an error by Ignacio Rivero at the start, which left the Frenchman alone against Jesús Corona, but a left slap from the celestial goalkeeper prevented the goal.

The ball was away from the goals for much of the second half, so the game lacked emotions, except for some attempts through long-distance shots, but all of them went without force at the hands of the goalkeepers or without direction to the arches.

The controversy appeared at 84 ‘, at which point Hugo Ayala and Bryan Angulo disputed an aerial ball. However, the Tigres center-back ended up elbowing the cement attacker, but the whistling Jorge Antonio Pérez Durán did not even approach the VAR screen to review the play, something that the local team’s players insistently asked him for what the marker no longer suffered more movements
