3. Monterrey’s late chaos went unrewarded
Monterrey had 61 percent possession and eight corners, yet produced no goal. Their best chance, the Ocampos penalty, was saved by Rangel in the first half.
The closing minutes brought a red card for Pineda and the annulled Rossi finish. Neither moment changed the score, and the 1-0 result stood.
The defeat ended Monterrey’s three match unbeaten run. It also ended Diego Rossi’s three match scoring run, since his only finish was the disallowed goal.
What the Result Means
Chivas de Guadalajara move to 26 points from 14 matches. They are provisionally second in Liga MX Apertura 2026, with Sunday’s Jornada 14 matches still to be played.
Cruz Azul are among the clubs who can still move on Sunday. Every position claim for this jornada therefore stays provisional until those matches are complete.
Monterrey stay on 20 points from 13 matches. They are provisionally seventh, still inside the top eight for now, late on Saturday night.
Queretaro and Santos Laguna can both pass Monterrey on Sunday. Monterrey also hold a pending Jornada 7 match at Queretaro, scheduled for November 14, 2026.
Three matchdays remain after this round. The top eight clubs advance directly to the Liguilla quarterfinals, and there is no Play-In in Apertura 2026.
Neither club has clinched a place or been eliminated. Chivas de Guadalajara hold the stronger position, but both outcomes remain open for each club.
