Are you, Tuca? Aguirre’s defensive changes
Tijuana had shown little in the offensive and this determined Monterrey not to press the accelerator. In the second half, the visitors began to gain confidence and gradually took over the game, largely due to changes. Basque, who gave up people like Dorlan Pabón and Avilés Hurtado put a line of five defenders with Nico Sánchez and Miguel Layún.
