In the recent derby between Monterrey and Tigres UANL, the Rayados team showcased a clear and effective tactic. Under the coach's direction, Monterrey opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, allowing them to dominate the midfield and control the flow of the game.

The key to this strategy was the role of the midfielders, particularly Sergio Canales, who not only distributed the ball but also contributed defensively, helping to regain possession quickly. During the first 30 minutes, Monterrey achieved 60% possession thanks to their short play and quick movements.

A notable point was the high press implemented by Monterrey. Focusing on disrupting Tigres' buildup, the Rayados grouped at the top of the pitch, forcing errors in their opponents' passing. This tactic resulted in several goal-scoring opportunities, although their finishing still needs improvement.

Defensive solidity was also an essential component. É. Aguirre and A. Aceves maintained a strong line, preventing Tigres from penetrating easily. By the end of the match, Monterrey managed to keep a clean sheet, a significant achievement in such an intense derby.
