Monterrey made the trip to Estadio Jalisco count, coming away with a 0-2 victory that was effectively settled before half-time. The visitors broke the deadlock in the first half and added a second after the interval, leaving Atlas with nothing to show for their efforts at home. It was a professional away performance from Monterrey, who controlled proceedings and didn't allow their hosts to build any real momentum. Atlas struggled to get going throughout the match and paid the price for a sluggish start. The home side never really threatened to claw back into proceedings once Monterrey's early goal went in, and the second goal only compounded a disappointing afternoon. For Atlas, questions will be asked about why they couldn't generate more attacking threat at the Jalisco, but Monterrey's visitors' mentality proved too strong on the day.
