The royal derby of Mexican soccer was played today in Houston with a lot of fight and few goal plays. Until when the game seemed over, Javier Aquino committed a foul in the area and Canales scored the penalty.
The match was intense. Both teams had approaches to the area, Monterrey especially with Canales and the Argentine Rogelio Funes Mori and the tigers with the french André Pierre Gignac.
In the second half, the fight for the ball blocked the game in midfield. When it seemed that the game would have to be defined in a penalty shootout, Monterrey took a risk in attack and with the penalty executed by Canales, he left Tigres empty-handed, on whose bench is the Uruguayan Robert Dante Siboldi.
