Monterrey managed to put the interists on the ropes, although after a blow of effect, the Italian ranks managed to spab from and take out their best arsenal.
Although they created quite clear offensive occasions, the reflection of their acts did not take effect until the 42nd minute, when Laurato Martínez knew how to take advantage of a center after a play on a stopped ball and define pleasure before the rival arch.
To a quite matched first part, it was followed a second half that was presented positive for the Italians, who placed the rival, forcing the “scratches” to lock themselves in the band to protect the goal.
Among the few departures that the Mexican cast could scratch before the new scenario raised by Inter, in the 65th minute a bouth shot of the Argentine attacker Germán Berterame ended up in the hands of goalkeeper Yann Sommer.
