Liga MX Apertura 2026 Jornada 3 – Monterrey win

Entities: Club de Fútbol Monterrey · Liga MX · Deportivo Toluca (Toluca) · Toluca FC · Monterrey (Liga MX)

Overview

Jornada 3 of the Apertura 2026 season featured two high‑profile fixtures. Atlas travelled to Estadio Jalisco to meet Monterrey, while Toluca hosted Necaxa at Estadio Nemesio Díez. The Atlas‑Monterrey match, scheduled for 2 August, ended with Monterrey securing a 2‑0 victory. Diego Rossi opened the scoring in the 28th minute and Lucas Ocampos converted a late penalty (90+7') to seal the win, giving Monterrey its first triumph of the campaign.

Atlas suffered a severe setback: three players were sent off. Luis Henrique (Duk) received a red card after a violent tackle on midfielder Orbelín Pineda, who sustained a deep leg cut that required medical attention and was later posted on social media. Milton Valenzuela and Carlos Salcedo were also dismissed. The result left Monterrey climbing the table and Atlas with a depleted squad and a seriously injured player.

Toluca’s clash with Necaxa proceeded as previewed, with broadcast coverage on Canal 5, TUDN and ViX Premium.
