Monterrey and Atlético San Luis met at the Estadio BBVA Bancomer in the sixth round of the Liga MX Apertura, and the visitors claimed a 3–1 victory on 31 August 2026.
D. Rodriguez opened the scoring for the hosts in the fifth minute, but the equaliser intended for O. Galvez was cancelled by video review at the twenty-second mark. R. Llorente restored Monterrey's lead just before half-time, while the away side struck twice in the second half through H. Cuypers and O. Macias.
By then Atlético San Luis had reshaped the match with three changes at the start of the second half — U. Djurdjevic, J. Rodriguez and I. Fimbres all came on. The hosts also made several alterations, bringing on O. Galvez, E. Aguirre and R. Llorente around the sixty-seventh minute, followed by M. Garcia and D. Rodriguez.
The statistics tell a familiar story: Monterrey dominated possession at 72 per cent and recorded 24 key passes, yet their 2.26 expected goals produced only one result. Atlético San Luis, with 0.28 possession and 1.33 expected goals, converted their chances more efficiently, creating four big opportunities against three for the hosts.
The result leaves Monterrey ninth with nine points from five games, while Atlético San Luis sit in sixteenth place on three points after five matches.
