Fourth-place Monterrey defeated Santos in front of a stadium filled with supporters dressed in white. The gesture was a message of peace in the wake of last Thursday's attack on a casino in the northern city in which 53 people died.
On the field, Monterrey took the lead in the 28th with a strike from Luis Perez and capped off the win with a headed goal by Chilean Humberto Suazo on 67 minutes despite losing defender Jose Basanta to a 41st-minute red card.
Not only did Monterrey put on a solid offensive effort, but the squad showed serious signs of excellence in defense as well. Expect Monterrey to keep improving their game as the Apertura rolls to a close.
Monterrey has 12 points while Santos remains on seven points. Monterrey is set to play streaking Puebla on Thursday September 1.
