Outstanding performance
Juárez•MidfielderMonterrey looked to be cruising to victory after Uros Djurdjevic's early opener and Jesús Corona's stunning strike just before halftime, but Juárez mounted a remarkable comeback in the second half. Jairo Torres spearheaded the fightback with a powerful header shortly after the break, then completed his brace with another header to level the match. The turning point came when Víctor Guzmán's second yellow card left Monterrey a man down, shifting momentum completely. Óscar Estupiñán, who had only been on the pitch for 23 minutes, converted a dramatic 90th-minute penalty after Ricardo Chávez's handball to salvage a point for Juárez in what will go down as one of the most thrilling encounters of the Liga MX season.
