Monterrey dominated possession with over 60% pass accuracy but struggled to convert it into goals. In the 20th minute Lucas Ocampos broke through a quick combination to score a brace, putting the game out of reach.

A brief VAR review followed the first goal, but the decision stood. Coach Matías Almeyda responded in the second half by increasing press intensity and widening wing play.
