Monterrey beat Juárez 6:1 in the fourth round of the Liga MX Apertura at Estadio BBVA Bancomer on 16 August 2026. The result leaves the hosts ninth with nine points from six games, while Juárez remain bottom on zero points after seven defeats.
L. Orellano opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and D. Rossi added a second fifteen minutes later. By then the match was already slipping away — H. Cuypers made it three in the twenty-ninth minute before O. Estupinan tucked in a fourth at thirty-two. To be fair, the home side had been building pressure for a while.
O. Pineda arrived at forty-five minutes and ended a barren spell immediately, striking twice in quick succession at the stroke of half-time. The visitors made two changes at the break, bringing on Guilherme Castilho and R. Fulgencio, but the momentum was well and truly gone.
D. Rossi's goal in the fifty-fifth minute was cancelled by VAR for offside, a moment that could have made the scoreline even more lopsided. L. Ocampos restored the five-goal margin in the sixty-second, and substitutions followed thick and fast as the home coach turned to fresh legs.
J. Rodriguez pulled two late goals back for Juárez in the ninetieth and ninety-second minutes, but the damage was done. Monterrey ground out the win, and the final whistle brought relief rather than celebration.
The statistics tell the story: 62 per cent possession, twenty-two shots to four on target, and expected goals of 2.49 to 0.33. Monterrey created three big chances; Juárez managed one. The visitors managed four shots on target all night, and their goalkeeper made four saves. It was not a contest after the thirty-minute mark.
