Monterrey suffered their second consecutive defeat in Liga MX, falling 1-3 to Atlético San Luis on Sunday in the closing match of Matchday 6, according to Mediotiempo.
The match, which featured a controversial moment, marked San Luis’s first win of the Apertura 2026 season. TUDN reported that the result also gave the potosino side their first victory of the campaign ahead of their upcoming clash with América.
Mediotiempo noted that the loss extended Rayados’s recent slump, with the team now having dropped two games in a row. The outlet did not provide further details on the nature of the controversy, but the result was enough to hand San Luis a much-needed three points.
El Norte reported that Monterrey coach Almeyda chose to rest several starting players for the fixture. That decision may have contributed to the team’s struggles on the night, though the report did not specify which players were left out or how the lineup changes affected the performance.
San Luis goalkeeper Diego Mejía celebrated the result, calling his time with the club a dream come true, according to Récord. The victory was a significant boost for the team, which had yet to register a win in the tournament before this match.
El Comentario also confirmed the 1-3 scoreline, underscoring the scale of Monterrey’s defeat on the road.
With the loss, Rayados will need to regroup quickly as they look to bounce back from their second straight setback. Their next fixture will be closely watched to see how Almeyda responds, particularly after opting to rotate his squad in this match.
