Estadio BBVA vibrated last weekend when Monterrey defeated their local rivals, Tigres UANL, in an exciting derby. Sergio Canales, with his game vision and ability to make a difference, was the architect of the victory. With two assists and a goal, he made it clear why he is considered the key to Rayados' success this season.

Canales has established himself as a pillar in midfield, and his connection with U. Đurđević and F. Ambríz is paying off. The way Canales distributes the ball and organizes plays has been crucial for Monterrey to keep up their offensive pace. The fans applauded every touch as he moved around the field, creating opportunities and opening spaces for his teammates.

"We need to keep working and improve every match," Canales stated after the derby. That growth mindset has instilled confidence in the team, which feels strong moving forward. In the last four matches, the team has shown attractive and effective football, a hallmark of Canales, who already has five goals this season.

The stats back up his contribution. In just ten matches, Canales has recorded over three assists and has become essential in set pieces. Without a doubt, when Monterrey has the ball at their feet, the number 10 becomes the center of action. Sergio's ability to shake off his marker and create space is what sets him apart in this league. Monterrey is in good shape, and Canales is the engine driving the team toward glory.
