Santos Laguna Humiliated by Monterrey in Fight to the Finish

Orozco was unable to deflect the ball and stood by helplessly as Santos Laguna supporters celebrated.

Monterrey recovered from its initial surprise to the equalizer and went on the attack. The result was a shocking goal by Oswaldo David Martinez in minute 48.
